He is a poet, essayist, philosopher, and businessman and published six critically acclaimed books of poetry in Serbia: Circling, The Sun Watches Itself, The Sign and Its Children, The Shape, The Creator, and Dance of Time.

In 1986, as a young writer, he was recognized among 200 writers at the Bor (former Yugoslavia) Literary Festival. He also received the prestigious Rastko Petrovic Award from the Society of Serbian Writers for his book of interviews with major European and American artists and intellectuals.


In addition to poetry and prose, he has worked as a journalist for the Serbian weekly magazine "Pogledi" (Views). His book of interviews from 1990 to1992 in Europe and America, entitled *Conversations*, included interviews with several major American writers, including Nobel Laureate Saul Bellow, Charles Simic, and Steve Tesic.

Charles Simic wrote the following comments about his first book: “Krugovanje (Circling) is a book which I thoroughly enjoyed. Many fine little poems.”

He has been living in Chicago since 1990.
