Digital Archive For Chinese Studies

I thought I would post on something slightly outside of my comfort zone. After visiting China almost over 4 years ago now it is interesting to be reconnected to it via this interesting archive of Chinese experimental poetry. The scans from the Not-Not (+ Critiques) section are very exciting visualy, to say the least.

"Here you will find illustrations that I feel complement China’s Second World of Poetry: The Sichuan Avant-Garde, 1982-1992, recently published on this site. Aside from scanning materials directly related to the book’s subject, I have included out-of-province journals, which are prominently referred to in the text or to which Sichuan’s poets contributed during the period in question."

"An anthology of the translated work of 20 poets - most of them not from Sichuan - will soon appear on this site as well. This will primarily consist of work written during the years 1982-1992, and allow readers to gain a better appreciation of the overall mainland-Chinese ‘avant-garde’ poetry scene throughout the country at the time. Some of the photos appearing here are in anticipation of this publication."
