Ali Canip Yöntem (born 1887 Istanbul[1] – October 26, 1967, Istanbul), was a Turkish poet, writer, literary history researcher, and politician.[2]
He was born in 1887 in Istanbul. His father is Halil Saip, a member of the Ministry of Evkaf, and his mother is Hafize Nuriye, the daughter of Anapa mufti İslam. Most of his grandfathers were from Kanlıca and had worked in foundations.[3]
He studied in Istanbul, first at Üsküdar Gülfem School, then at Toptaşı Military High School and two years at the French school in Selamsız. After his father was exiled to Thessaloniki, he continued his education at the Thessaloniki Mulkiye High School. The Turkish and literature lessons he took from Cudi Efendi at this school made him interested in literature.[4] The poet he read most during high school was Muallim Naci. In 1906, when he was in the last year of his high school, he enrolled in Istanbul Law School with an examination, but later had his enrollment in Thessaloniki Law School.[4] He is a graduate of Thessaloniki Law School.[citation needed]
