Miodrag Pavlovic, born in 1928, is one of the founders of modern Yugoslavian poetry. As a writer, working in Serbian, he has sought the coded traces of man’s earliest artistic expression, hoping to touch on universal myths, the distilled essence of man’s experience.

He found these myths in rituals attached to Lepenski Vir, the mesolithic whirlpool culture located in recent years along the shores of the Danube, and he has performed the poetic magic of making mesolithic attempts to cope with the unknown chaos of the universe – lean and sparse poems – seem a solution to the enigma of man’s contemporary destiny.
