Fereydoon Moshiri in the picture frame

Alongside his employment, Moshiri continued to pursue education. While finishing high school, he simultaneously began his career in the Post and Telegraph Department. In the same year, tragedy struck: his mother passed away at the age of only 39. This early loss left a deep emotional mark on him and influenced the melancholic undertones of some of his later poetry.

Following his high school studies, Moshiri attended the Technical School of the Ministry of Posts and Telegraphs, where he received professional training relevant to his career in telecommunications. Despite the technical nature of his work, his literary interests deepened during this time.

He later enrolled at the University of Tehran, where he began studying Persian literature. His intellectual curiosity and talent for writing led him toward journalism and literary criticism. However, balancing government work, academic studies, and press responsibilities proved difficult. Eventually, he was forced to abandon his formal university education, though he remained deeply engaged in literary circles.

From an early age, he contributed to newspapers and magazines, writing essays, reviews, and poetry. This journalistic experience provided him with exposure to the broader cultural debates of the time and placed him at the heart of Iran’s rapidly modernizing literary scene.
