Born in
September 1926 in Tehran, for years, Fereydoon Moshiri has been interested
in poetry since his childhood. In the first years of university, he had
collected a book from Sonnets and his Poetry works. Later on, acquaintance
with the New Poetry and blankverses prevented him from countinuing poetry
in the Old Style. He took the way of moderation and refused to practice
the style of Blank Verse extrimists and traditionalists.
The way Moshiri has taken is the final objective of the originators of the New Verse and poetry. It means that he has accepted to use Rhymes in a suitable and rational manner and combine it with a new look at Nature, Things and Persons around, along with a delicate feeling and sensation, to present his poems with a characterized feature. Moshiri married Eghbal Akhavaan, a student of painting at the University of Tehran - Faculty of Fine Arts, in 1954. They have two children, Bahaar and Babak, both of them graduated from Universities of Tehran in Architecture. |
Fereydoon Moshiri started his state services from the Ministry of Post, Telegraph and Telephone of Iran (PTT) and he is now retired from Iran's Communications Company.
Moshiri started poetry with Love and Romance when he was only ten years old. He published his first book called "Teshneye Toofaan" in the spring of 1955 in Tehran. Two years later, this book revised with some new added poems under a new title: "Naayaafteh". Moshiri's second book was titled "Gonaah-e daryaa" published in 1956. Poems of this book are mostly covered by the shadows of despair and darkness of Mishiri's youth. In 1961, a collection of his poems published in "Abr" which was later reprinted for several times under the title "Abr va Koocheh" as a request of N.I.L Publishing Co. In 1967. Reflections of Man's feeling towards his life and death, love and destiny, social environment and the whole universe have been the main theme for the selected poems of "Bahaar ra baavar kon" published in 1968. "Az Khaamooshi" published in 1978, one year before the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the book covers human's common pains and sufferings in the era of 20th century. Peace and friendship, love and serving mankind as a whole have been the foundation of Moshiri's poetry in his next book called "Aah Baaraan (Oh, The Rain)" published in 1988.
He died on October 24, 2000 at age 74.
