Life
Momčilo Nastasijević's father was a builder, one brother became a composer. He studied French language and literature in Belgrade . During the First World War he began to write poetry and short stories, which first appeared in magazines in 1922 and 1923. In Belgrade he worked as a high school teacher. Nastasijević wrote lyrical dramas, opera libretti, stories, but above all poetry cycles in which archaic and folklore elements combined with bold neologisms and motifs of decadence . His main work is the self-published poetry collection Pet lirskih krugova ( Five Lyric Circles ) in 1932 .
His style is hermetic and therefore difficult to access. Vasko Popa and Miodrag Pavlović have advocated for his poetry later.
