Dejan Stojanović es un poeta serbio-estadounidense, escritor, ensayista, filósofo, empresario y ex periodista. Su poesía se caracteriza por un sistema reconocible de pensamientos[1] y recursos poéticos, cercano a la filosofía, con un tono muy reflexivo.[2] Según el crítico Petar V. Arbutina, "Stojanović pertenece a un pequeño círculo de poetas autóctonos que han sido la principal fuerza creativa y artística de la poesía serbia en las últimas décadas”.[3] Wikipedia
