About Dejan Stojanovic

Dejan Stojanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Дејан Стојановић, pronounced [dějan stojǎːnoʋitɕ]; born 11 March 1959) is a Serbian American poet, writer, essayist, philosopher, businessman, and former journalist. His poetry is characterized by a recognizable system of thought and poetic devices, bordering on philosophy, and, overall, it has a highly reflective tone. According to the critic Petar V. Arbutina, "Stojanović belongs to the small and autochthonous circle of poets who have been the main creative and artistic force of the Serbian poetry in the last several decades."
