Zoran Papic

Eighteen years ago in one day, Zoran Papic left his country and came to Canada. Much, much later, he realized that that day he became A Man of Two Countries. Veteran of open mic where he is known just as Zoran; his first book is behind him and sold out. In his words he is a dreamer, rebel, humanitarian and romantic. His work is a mirror of one turbulent life and old soul. Currently he is working on his first chapbook which will contain all sorts of love poems.
