Ivan V. Lalic (1931 – 1996) was one of the most significant Serbian poets writing after World War II with a reputation as one of the finest European poets of his time. Also one of the leading poets of contemporary neosymbolism poetry in Serbia. He had also been writing essays and literary critics and versifying English and French poetry into Serbian language. Lalic edited a few anthologies of poetry. He was sincerely appreciated among colleague poets of his time all over the world as it can be seen in many inscriptions written to him on books he received as a sign of respect and appreciation.
