今天中午在網上隨意瀏覽，發現我題為“Y”的一首詩被美國著名文學雜誌《辛辛那提評論〉提名獲“小推車”2015年度文學獎。這是我第9次獲得這種提名（2014年2月以來還是第一次）。因為我這人從來沒什麼運氣，早就對這種事無動於衷。不過，有人欣賞、推薦我的英文原創詩作，總還是令人高興的事。以下是9次被提名的記錄，在此存檔：

原詩如下：
Y
You have been haunted by this letter
Yes, since it contains all the secrets of
Your selfhood: your name begins with it
You carry y-chromosome; you wear
Y-pants; both your skin and heart are
Yellowish; your best poem is titled
Y; you seldom seek the balance between
Yin and yang; you never want to be a
Yankee, but you yearn to remain as
Young as your poet son; in particular
You love the way it is pronounced, so
Youthfully, as a word rather than a letter to
Yell out the human reasons; above all
Your soul is a seed blown from afar, always
Y-shaped when breaking the earth to greet spring
另外，我的“美國/現代化”一詩又獲塞浦路斯的英文刊物 the sons of camus writers international journal. 的詩歌寫作傑出獎，這是第二次；上次是2012年，獲獎的作品題為“中國傳說之現代化”。
