Marina Matić was born in Belgrade, SFR Yugoslavia. She is a prose and poetry creator who combines various artistic expressions in her work, such as literature, dance, music, and acting. Through the interpretation of her poetry and prose, as well as other literary works, she explores a wide range of themes, including spiritual, love, reflective, philosophical, social, descriptive, elegiac, and erotic.

Her poetry is characterized by a rich blend of lyrical and epic elements. She employs free verse and, like contemporary Serbian and foreign poets, ventures into prose poetry. Her prose covers a diverse range of topics, from philosophical and spiritual introspection to vivid depictions of nature, deep emotional explorations, and freedom of erotic expression, all underscored by profound understanding and empathy for human and natural suffering, as well as compassion for everything that disrupts the harmony of our human and divine garden.

Marina Matić writes short stories and narratives, and her prose is distinguished by the poetic richness embedded within it. Her first poetry book, "Reflection of the Soul," was published in 2007, followed by the second poetry book, "The Glow of Secrets," in 2008. Her third poetry book, titled "Dawn of Joy," was published in 2015. In 2021, IP Prosveta released her fourth book, characterized by Serbian writer Nebojša Ćosić as a mosaic novel, titled "Transformation," as well as the epistolary poetic work "One," created in collaboration with poet and prose writer Igor Tintor. Her prose and poetry have found a place in both domestic and international anthologies and literary collections.

Marina Matić has been a member of the Association of Writers of Serbia since 2007 and the Association of Serbian Writers in the Homeland and the Diaspora (USKOR) since 2008. She continues to create, transcending the limitations of time and space, in her hometown.

Marko Milojević – Maskirani was born on the road on November 3rd, 1980, which also defined his life path. He spent his childhood in Toplica, one of the rare and very significant bright spots in his poetry and life. In high school, he wrote his first poem influenced by a concert by Šerbedžija, and since then, his writing has been inspired by the "Cursed Poets" and those to whom he dedicated poems. He enrolled in literature studies but soon realized that poetry was too academic and sparsely represented in style, so his desire for freedom and distant horizons led him to Blace, to his Toplica, where, wandering, and changing 4 student IDs, he obtained a degree in Tourism, and now works as a tour guide residing in Belgrade. He published the poetry book "Maskirani original" in 2020, and since then, the pseudonym "Maskirani" has become spontaneously but symbolically attached to his name as a poet. He published his second book, "Cursed Blues," in 2024.
