Nikola Vujčić graduated from the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade. He was the editor of the magazine Znak, the editor-in-chief of Književna reč (The Literary Word),[1] the editor of the Literary Youth of Serbia, the editor-in-chief of Vuk's endowment Zadužbina and the editor of the publishing house "Filip Višnjić". He also contributed to many poetry magazines, namely Polja and others.[2]
He is a member of the Serbian PEN Center; he currently resides in Belgrade.
With his poetry, Nikola Vujčić makes a persistent and independent voice of Serbian poetry. Having joined the currents of European poetry, Vujčić persistently writes his poetic matrix, eternally re-examining the medium in which it is realized. In his first book, Vujčić knew how to stick to archetypes, the most important of which is water. Later, only the lyrical subject, language and words remained. Words are seen as decaying objects, and an imperfect language that names them, relativizes everything, creating a void. All that remains is a song woven of decay that falls into nothingness. The poem exists outside the world he sings about and in which it originated.[3][4]
