Misak Metsarents

Misak Metsarents (1886-1908), whose civil name was Misak Metsatourian, was born in the village of Binkian, in the Akn region, into a family of merchants. He was schooled in Sivas, then at the American college in Merzifon, and followed his family to Constantinople in 1902, where he entered the central college of Galata. Tuberculosis forced him to leave school in 1905 and took him three years later in the capital, at the age of twenty-two. He had been giving verse to Armenian journals since 1903 and at first signed under several assumed names, among them that of a Miss Berberian.
