Desanka Maksimovic


Desanka Maksimovic (1898 - 1993) was one of Serbia's best-loved poets.  Wiki has this to say about her:  Desanka Maksimović was a Serbian poet, writer and translator. Her first works were published in the literary journal Misao in 1920, while she was studying at the University of Belgrade. Within a few years, her poems appeared in the Serbian Literary Herald, Belgrade's most influential literary publication.
