【WOW！黃裕邦《天裂》殺入Lambda Literary Awards最後名單！】

香港土生土長的英語詩人黃裕邦(Nicholas Wong)，其2015出版詩集《天裂》（Crevasse）剛入選美國第28屆Lambda Literary Awards (Gay Poetry)最後入圍名單。該奬項在美國被視為文壇艾美獎(Lammys)，亦是全世界對酷兒文學創作（Queer Literature)作出嘉許的最高殊榮。Nicholas 是首個入選該組別的香港人，而同時亦是能夠進入今屆最後名單的兩個亞洲詩人之一（另一位是現已移居紐約的新加坡詩人Jee Leong Koh)。是次獲得國際肯定証明本地文字創作正藴釀一股新力量，不能忽視。

頒獎禮將於6月6日在紐約大學Skirball Center for the Performing Arts 舉行，嘉賓包括曾在奧巴馬就職典禮上朗讀自己作品的拉丁美裔男同詩人Richard Blanco。所有得獎者將於該典禮揭曉。
