凯特·莱特
  凯特·莱特是纽约城市歌剧院的小提琴手,也投身于现代舞和戏剧。她的作品已经出现在《巴黎评论》、《基督科学训诫读物》、《西方人文评论》、《比较》、《威斯康星评论》、《贺拉斯》、《斯巴》、《女性主义研究》、《雅奴斯》等杂志上。她最新的书《堕落身体的律法》获得了1997年尼古拉斯·诺依里奇诗歌奖。


  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

  现代人的爱情是短暂而危险的,仿佛是一场场拳击赛,来得突然,去得也快。虽然曾经有过短暂的幸福之光进入“黯淡的地方”,他们也可以为爱痴狂,然而却否认“燃烧”。末尾一句,更是撕破了披在现代人头上的“温情脉脉的面纱”:他们就连说一声“爱”都困难。莱特写的现代诗,体现在从内容和形式两个层面上的继承与突破。然而,这种“琉璜与大气的会合”似的爱情,最终受到威胁的还是“内心”和“灵魂”。也许这个写诗的靓丽女子,会在音乐、舞蹈和戏剧上寻求舒乐与安宁,会让心浮气燥的都市生活变得宁静,并在宁静中收获真正属于自己的爱情。
