Misak Metsarents

Until 1902, he attended the Anatolia Boarding School in Marzvan, which was run by American missionaries.

However, tuberculosis forced him to leave his education, and he later died from the ailment July 5, 1908, at the age of 22.

He also collaborated with many Armenian publications such as “Masis”, “Hanragitak”, “Eastern Press”, “Light”, “Courier”, “Manzumei Efkiar”, “Buzandion”.

The poet enriched Armenian poetry with his lyrical and genuine masterpieces, although Metsarents only managed to publish two volumes of poetry in his lifetime: “Dziadzan” (Rainbow) (1907) and “Nor dagher” (1907).

He was commemorated in 2012 by his portrait appearing on an Armenian postal stamp.
