Hong Kong: Spicy Fish Cultural Production Ltd 水煮魚文化, 2018. Softcover. 《天裂》乃黃裕邦同名英文詩集之首個中譯版本。2016年黃裕邦憑此詩集榮獲有同志文學界「艾美獎」之稱的第28屆Lambda Literary Awards (Gay Poetry)，同於不同組別獲獎的作家包括美國幽默散文大師David Sedaris，女權主義者兼詩人Adrienne Rich，以及已出櫃的愛爾蘭小說家Colm Toibin等，可見要獲得項殊榮絕不容易。 《天裂》運用城市意象，挪用文化符號，探察身體觸感及性別身份等議題，語言大膽跳脫，卻不失細膩的辯証。此書由年青譯者徐晞文翻譯，也見出香港本土譯者之翻譯功夫，及香港文白相夾的獨特翻譯語言。 《天裂》中譯本面世，將會是同志文學界及華文詩壇重要的事件。 First published in English as Crevasse.

Hong Kong: Blacksmith Books, 2009. Softcover. 梁紹鴻，Duncan Leung，詠春善戰者。由兒時好友、已故電影巨星李小龍介紹去學詠春功夫。1955年，年僅十三歲的他以「三跪九叩」之禮，拜詠春第六長門代葉問為師，成為葉問的「第一私家門徒」。 1955至1959這四年間，葉問親自上門，悉心教導梁紹鴻，傾囊相授，跟他練習，還傳授「實踐」詠春的秘訣。梁紹鴻天天練武、練功六小時；要學以致用，他就上街打架、上武館「講手」，實踐所學。他對中國武術各門各派的打鬥經驗可謂獨一無二。 1964年，一次行俠仗義令梁紹鴻有緣遇上一位老人。那老人教他「空手入白刃」、「貼身搏擊」、「無聲殺敵」等技巧。 1974至1976年，梁紹鴻在美國紐約設館授徒。中、外習武者上館挑戰可謂無日無之，他未嘗敗北，因此應付外國武藝的經驗也相當豐富，可謂世上絕無僅有。 1976至2002年間，梁紹鴻在美國弗吉利亞灘 （Virginia Beach）定居，受聘於美國海軍海豹隊（U.S. Navy Seals）、美國聯邦調查局（ FBI ）及美國特警部隊 （SWAT）。 2002年8月，梁紹鴻接受可能是他有生以來最大的挑戰：要在兩年內，培養六名中國少年成為世界級職業「散打」拳手。於是，他到了中國去完成這能人所不能的使命。 In English: Duncan Leung was introduced to Wing Chun Kung Fu by his childhood friend, famed screen star Bruce Lee.
