　　"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
