"No Not another book of poetry in Persian language ," wrote, not the publisher to the poet, but the poet to his publisher "And let me tell you the risk ," continued the poet, "I'm afraid that almost everybody understand most of the poems without any effort, and those demanding five more seconds - of easy thinking - are not but only proves of my failures, as I hate Persian poems that, to understand them, you have to read a hundred books by experts...." Fereydoun Moezi Moghadam's early poems appeared in "nouvel vague" reviews of Tehran in sixties, born 1940. He gradually stopped publishing poems, as avoiding metaphors, symbols, linguistic ambiguities... made his oeuvre too transparent, not giving a hard time to censor. He never stopped though writing poems among other writings. Founder member of Iran Writers Association, he lives in France since 1979, became French citizen, and has never returned to Iran. Nazdik y Sh 'r is the first and only selection of over thirty years of his Persian poems in book form.
