Who was Filip Višnjić?
Filip Višnjić was a popular Serbian epic poet and guslar, born in northern Bosnia. He is often described as the "Serbian Homer" both because he was blind and for his poetic gift. Living in a time of exceptional significance for Serbian history, the bard composed poems about these events, and they became a highly valued part of the Serbian epic poetry. Vuk Karadžić considered him the best ballad writer and singer of his time.
