In his early childhood, during [[World War II]], he and his family were forced to evacuate their home several times to escape indiscriminate bombing of Belgrade. Growing up as a child in war-torn Europe shaped much of his worldview, Simic stated. In an interview from the ''[[Cortland Review]]'' he said, "Being one of the millions of displaced persons made an impression on me. In addition to my own little story of bad luck, I heard plenty of others. I'm still amazed by all the vileness and stupidity I witnessed in my life."<ref>[http://www.cortlandreview.com/issuefour/interview4.htm Charles Simic profile] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170408193340/http://www.cortlandreview.com/issuefour/interview4.htm |date=April 8, 2017 }}, CortlandReview.com.
