The author describes recent progress in calculating properties of light (A {le} 8) nuclei starting with realistic two- and three-nucleon interactions. Variational and Green`s function Monte Carlo methods are used to study few-nucleon spectra and structure, to directly calculate low-energy reactions, and to determine the nuclear response to electromagnetic probes. Recent algorithmic developments and future physics prospects will be highlighted.
