Mušīrī, Firiydūn (1926-2000)

Fereydoon Moshiri (August 1926 in Tehran, Iran - October 24, 2000 in Tehran) was one of the prominent contemporary Persian poets who versified in both modern and classic styles of the Persian poem. He is best known as conciliator of classical Persian poetry at one side with the New Poetry initiated by Nima Yushij at the other. One of the major contributions of Moshiri's poetry is the broadening of the social and geographical scope of modern Persian literature.
