This paper discusses the issue of binary opposition, especially dealing with the opposite genres between fiction and non-fiction in literary works. Commonly fiction is assumed to concern only with imaginations, while non-fiction with realities or facts. This issue is applied to examine the poems of number 1-9 through the work, titled "Ada Berita Apa Hari Ini, Den Sastro?" The theory of hermeneutics, especially covering the concept of hermeneutic circles, is the main tool to analyze. Finally, the results prove that the continual contradiction between news and story is intentionally constructed by poets to gain ambiguity effects of the poem.Keywords: opposition, fiction, non-fiction
