Dejan Stojanović est un poète serbo-américain, écrivain, essayiste, philosophe, homme d'affaires et ancien journaliste. Sa poésie est caractérisée par un système de pensée et des procédés poétiques reconnaissables, en bordure de la philosophie, et, globalement, par un ton très réflexif. Selon le critique Petar V. Arbutina, « Stojanović appartient au petit cercle de poètes autochtones qui ont été la principale force créatrice et artistique de la poésie serbe au cours des dernières décennies.» Wikipedia
