Biografija
Rođen je 1875. godine u Velikoj Ivanči kod Mladenovca, gde je završio osnovnu školu. Gimnaziju je završio u Beogradu, a zatim Učiteljsku školu u Aleksincu. U mladosti je stalno nosio šumadijsku narodnu nošnju, a ispod košulje amajliju – platneni zamotuljak sa grumenom zemlje iz njegove rodne Ivanče. Radio je u većem broju seoskih osnovnih škola. Učestvovao je u Balkanskim ratovima, u bici na Kumanovu i opsadi Jedrena. Sećao se kako su ratnici posle osvajanja Jedrena pričali kako im je žao što opsadu Jedrena nisu iskoristili da produže dalje, sve do Carigrada. Učestvovao je u Kolubarskoj bici, posle koje je oboleo od tifusa. Bugarske okupacione vlasti su ga 1915. proterale preko Morave kao praznoskitajuščeg. Živeo je odvojen od žene i dece u Kruševcu i Beogradu. Oboleo je od tuberkuloze. Zaboravljen od svih, umro je u bedi i nemaštini, kao pravi prosjak. Prema rečima njegove supruge Ruže, 3. marta 1921. je rekao da će umreti 17. aprila, što se i dogodilo. Sahranjen je u Beogradu na Topčiderskom groblju o državnom trošku, bez spomenika na njegovom grobu.

Milorad M. Petrović-Seljančica
Milorad M. Petrović-Seljančica (Velika Ivanča, 26 July 1875-Belgrade, 17 April 1921) was a Serbian poet, playwright and soldier.
Biography
After finishing teacher's college in Aleksinac, he became a high school teacher. He married his high school sweetheart, Ruža (Rose), who was also a teacher. They both taught school in Krčmar, Stojnik (Sopot), Ranilović, and Mladenovac. Then married with children, he finally established himself in Belgrade and, at the age of thirty-two, after having authored several books of poetry, began writing for the stage. Between 1907 and 1912 he wrote more than 300 poems that were transcribed into lyrical songs for the theater and became the most conspicuous poet of the day. His copiousness and speed of composition -- together with his bohemian habits -- became proverbial: the writer Janko Veselinović recalled how proudly Milorad Petrović wore his Serbian national costume, then only worn by peasants and not city folk (hence, the nickname "Seljančica"). Everything he wrote was set into music and singers adored Petrović's songs. After all, his poems painted a picture of their time and place. With the on-set of the First Balkan War of 1912 he joined his fellow Serbs against the Ottoman Empire. He did the same a year later when the Bulgarians provoked the Second Balkan War of 1913 and the tragic Great War that followed. After the conflicts, separated from his wife and children, he lived in Kruševac and Belgrade where his health suddenly began to deteriorate drastically. Although his health had been failing since his mid-thirties while fighting on the battlefields (1912-1915), retreating over the Albanian mountains (winter, 1915-1916), and continued fighting (1917-1918). After victory was declared, Petrović somehow found the energy to live for a few more years. He died of tuberculosis at the age of 46 on the 17th of April 1921. Strangely enough, predicting the exact date of his own death on the 3rd of March 1921 to his wife Ruža, who was at his bedside throughout his last few weeks.
Works
In the group of works, the cycle Seljaničice (Little Peasant Girls), which was based on verses of Milorad Petrović, attained a special place. The poems (most of which were transcribed into music) composed in the folk idiom were used by Milorad Petrović in his dramatic play Čučuk-Stana (1907). He is remembered for a book of verse entitled Vaskrsenje (Resurrection). Literary critic Jovan Skerlić praised Milorad Petrović for writing Resurrection that excited and delighted the readers. Furthermore, the book proved that Skerlić's prophecy was not proclaimed in vain. Petrović showed that even patriotism could serve as a poetic mode.
