Kristin Prevallet (kayvalletatyahoo.com) is a poet, essayist, performer, and educator whose literary focus is to integrate political and personal consciousness into radical poetic forms.

Prevallet was a student of Edward and Jenny Dorn, Stan Brakhage, and Lorna Dee Cervantes at the University of Colorado, Boulder (B.A. 1990). She studied French at the Sorbonne and then moved to New York City where she studied with Bernadette Mayer at St. Mark’s Poetry Project, then to the University at Buffalo where she participated in the Poetics Program with Charles Bernstein, Robert Creeley, and Susan Howe. For her masters thesis at the University of Buffalo, she worked in the Poetry / Rare Books Collection cataloguing the archive of Helen Adam. The fruits of this labor, A Helen Adam Reader, was published in 2007.

She has taught poetry and poetics, critical thinking and close reading at NYU, The New School, Bard College, and Naropa University. She is currently teaching in the Institute for Writing Studies at St. John's University in Queens, NY. She has received a 2007 New York Foundation for the Arts fellowship in Poetry and a 2004 PEN translation fund award.
