Duyan was born in Istanbul in 1981. As an internationally recognized poet, his poems have been translated to over twenty-five different languages. His debut novel Başka (Other) was published in 2022. The Behavior of Words was published earlier this year by White Pines Press in a translation by Aron Aji.
