Milan Rakić
Milan Rakić (Serbian Cyrillic: Милан Ракић; 18 September 1876 – 30 June 1938) was a Serbian poet-diplomat and academic. He focused on dodecasyllable and hendecasyllable verse, which allowed him to achieve beautiful rhythm and rhyme in his poems. He was quite a perfectionist and therefore only published three collections of poems (1903, 1912, 1924). He wrote largely about death and non-existence, keeping the tone sceptical and ironic. Some of his most well-known poems are ''An Honest Song'' (Iskrena pesma), ''A Desperate Song'' (Očajna pesma), ''Jefimija'', ''Simonida'' and ''At Gazi-Mestan'' (Na Gazi-Mestanu). He was a member of the Serbian Royal Academy (1934). Biography Early life Rakić was born on 18 September 1876 in Belgrade to father Mita and mother Ana (née Milićević).
