Momčilo Nastasijević

Momčilo Nastasijević, srpski pisac, rođen je 06. oktobra 1894. godine (23. septembra po starom kalendaru) u Gornjem Milanovcu, a umro 13. februara 1938. godine u Beogradu.

U svojim shvatanjima poezije Nastasijević je dužnik simbolista. Osnovni pojam njegove poetike, "rodna" ili "maternja" melodija, proizlazi iz simbolističkog shvatanja muzike kao bića poezije. U traganju za tom melodijom pesniku valja pronicati s onu stranu pojava da bi stigao u neposredan dodir s onim što je neizrecivo, tajanstveno, mistično. Maternja je melodija, za Nastasijevića, zvuk izvornog, arhaičnog jezika; u srpskom slučaju to je, s jedne strane, melodija jezika narodne pesme, a s druge, melodija srednjovekovnih tekstova.
