Dušan Simić was brought into the world in Belgrade. In his youth, during The Second Great War, he and his family had to empty their home a few times to get away from unpredictable besieging of Belgrade. Growing up as a kid in war-torn Europe molded quite a bit of his perspective, Simic expressed. In a meeting from the Cortland Survey he said, "Being one of the large numbers of dislodged people established a connection with me. Notwithstanding my own little story of misfortune, I heard a lot of others. I'm actually flabbergasted by all the abhorrence and ineptitude I saw in my life."

Simic moved to the US with his sibling and mom to join his dad in 1954 when he was sixteen. He experienced childhood in Chicago. In 1961, he was drafted into the U.S. Armed force, and in 1966, he procured his B.A. from New York College while working around evening time to take care of the expenses of educational cost.
