    Chairil Anwar was a well-known Indonesian poet born in 1922 in Medan, North Sumatra. He was the only child of his parents, his father's name was Toeloes and his mother's name was Saleha. Anwar attended elementary school during the Dutch colonial period but dropped out of higher school at age 18 to pursue his dream of becoming an artist. Although he did not finish his formal education, he spent his time reading works from international authors. After his parents divorced, Anwar and his mother moved to Batavia where he would gain recognition for his 1942 poem "Nisan", though his works were initially rejected for being too individualistic. Anwar died very young, at age 26
