Poetry. "Kristin Prevallet has made a work of beautiful seriousness by her variation on, homage to, shadowing of, and critical intelligence about T. S. Eliot's <em>Four Quartets</em>. EVERYWHERE HERE AND IN BROOKLYN re-examines Eliot's premises about time, eternity, stillness, consciousness, suffering, and attentiveness while intently exploring our world today—its ecological, social, and political disasters, one's sense of feeling and meaning, one's grief and hope. This is accomplished with a temperate casualness, in neighborly and local imagery, with wise aphorisms, and an overall meditative intransigence. Prevallet has accomplished something far beyond any quietist resignation or non-secular redemption. This is a moving and rich cultural intervention."—Rachel Blau DuPlessis
