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