尼古拉•马兹洛夫(Nikola Madzirov) 诗人，散文家，译者.1973年生于前南斯拉夫的一个巴尔干战争的难民家庭。18岁时，南斯拉夫解体，文化身份发生了转变。东欧诗歌有一个明显的传统，从米沃什、赫伯特、蒲巴、扎加耶夫斯基，再到马兹洛夫，但是后者发出的是东欧诗歌二十一世纪的声音，他是后苏联时期最出色的诗人之一。德文周刊Der Spiegel 甚至将马兹洛夫和特朗斯特罗姆相提并论。马兹洛夫的诗歌被翻译成四十种语言出版，《重置的石头》(2007) 曾赢得 Hubert Burda 欧洲诗歌奖，也曾在斯特鲁加诗歌之夜获得米拉迪诺夫兄弟诗歌奖，还获得数个文学奖金，包括爱荷华国际作家工作坊、柏林DAAD文学奖金、法国玛格丽特•尤瑟娜文学奖金等等。马兹洛夫也是Lyrikline诗歌网站的主持，常年四海为家。
