Pages 73-78 of Fei fei 《非非》1989 issue in our holdings are missing, apparently sliced out by a reader. The scans of the missing pages are courtesy of Shi Zhongren 世中人. Their inclusion in the record is supported by editor Zhou Lunyou 周伦佑.
Not-Not is another of the many publications in unofficial poetry that hail from Sichuan province, with key people throughout the journal's decades-long history (marked by factional infighting) including Zhou Lunyou, Lan Ma, and Yang Li.
It occupies an important position in what we might loosely call a tradition of headstrong irreverence and resistance to (Northern) cultural hegemony, illustrated by its self-assigned qualities as "pre-cultural," "non-cultural," and "anti-cultural." Not-Not stands out on the unofficial poetry scene by its attention to theory and criticism, quite aside from the question of whether and how theory and criticism translated into the actual poetry carried by the journal.
