凯特·莱特
  凱特·萊特是紐約城市歌劇院的小提琴手,也投身於現代舞和戲劇。她的作品已經出現在《巴黎評論》、《基督科學訓誡讀物》、《西方人文評論》、《比較》、《威斯康星評論》、《賀拉斯》、《斯巴》、《女性主義研究》、《雅奴斯》等雜志上。她最新的書《墮落身體的律法》獲得了1997年尼古拉斯·諾依裏奇詩歌奬。


  KATE LIGHT is the author of three volumes of poetry, Gravity's Dream (Donald Justice Award), Open Slowly, and The Laws of Falling Bodies (Nicholas Roerich Prize), and the texts of Oceanophony and Einstein's Mozart. She is also a professional violinist in New York City.
  
  SAYS ELIZABETH GILBERT, author of Eat, Pray, Love: "Kate Light has been one of my favorite poets for years and years now. To my eye and ear, she operates as a full master... Her work gives me shivers."
  
  AS NARRATOR of her pieces, Kate has appeared with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Louisville Orchestra, Colorado Chamber Players, and at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Also known for her lively poetry readings, her recent engagements include the New York Times' "Great Read in the Park," Spoleto Festival USA, Dodge Poetry Festival, 3rd Annual DC International Poetry Festival, Interlochen Center for the Arts, Zimmerli Museum at Rutgers University, Wordstock Festival at Penn State University, Woodstock Poetry Festival, Cal State LA, Fairfield, Cornell, Vanderbilt, CW Post, and West Chester Universities, and the Musashino Art University in Tokyo.
  
  KATE'S POETRY has appeared in The Paris Review, Dark Horse, Hudson Review, New York Sun, Washington Post Book World, Feminist Studies, and many other publications, and was featured four times on Garrison Keillor's The Writer's Almanac. Her work is included in the anthologies The Penguin Book of the Sonnet, Western Wind, Poetry Daily, and Good Poems for Hard Times (edited by Keillor), and her lyrics for the song Here Beside Me are heard in Disney's Mulan II. She has been Visiting Professor at Cornell University and the Musashino Art University.
  
  "Kate Light's words in Oceanophony, like her other works, are delightful, whimsical, informative and funny. The words lent themselves so easily to music that they seem like beautiful musical notes--each one a droplet of sparkle... Einstein's Mozart is an informed, insightful and heartfelt tribute to two giants of mankind."
  Cho-Liang Lin, concert violinist and Music Director, SummerFest La Jolla
  
  "It's hard to think of a poet so aptly named as Kate Light, except, of course, for Wordsworth. The step of her poems is light, and plenty of that luminous stuff is shed here."
  Billy Collins

  現代人的愛情是短暫而危險的,仿佛是一場場拳擊賽,來得突然,去得也快。雖然曾經有過短暫的幸福之光進入“黯淡的地方”,他們也可以為愛癡狂,然而卻否認“燃燒”。末尾一句,更是撕破了披在現代人頭上的“溫情脈脈的面紗”:他們就連說一聲“愛”都睏難。萊特寫的現代詩,體現在從內容和形式兩個層面上的繼承與突破。然而,這種“琉璜與大氣的會合”似的愛情,最終受到威脅的還是“內心”和“靈魂”。也許這個寫詩的靚麗女子,會在音樂、舞蹈和戲劇上尋求舒樂與安寧,會讓心浮氣燥的都市生活變得寧靜,並在寧靜中收穫真正屬於自己的愛情。
