Biography

Born in Istanbul, Turkey, Cansever attended Trade Academy for some time, and worked as an antiquity salesman in Grand Bazaar, Istanbul.[citation needed] Despite his denial,[citation needed] he is considered to be a member of second new generation:

The poetry of Edip Cansever has two main characteristics: Being the proof of his life and the result of his poetry craftsmanship. A new essence, a new verse form reaches the niveau of simpleness only after undergoing a layered process of craftmanship. Being an opposer of rigid forms makes him an artist of the Ikinci Yeni movement. His accomplished revolutionizing of rigid forms comes from the urge of the essence (Doğan Hızlan, 1983)[full citation needed].

He developed objective correlative before T. S. Eliot's work was translated into Turkish, afterward being inspired by Eliot's development and stating he saw the concept as essential to his own poetry's "decoration".[3]
