Parizad Moradi a poetess from Bushehr
Parizad Moradi was born in Harmik Village, city of Jam, in the southern Province of Bushehr in 1964.
Although she has not undergone any academic training, she is a poetess. She pens lyrics that embody the warmth and sincerity of southern Iranians. She has written over 1,500 couplets and has published a book on elegies regarding Imam Hussein (A.S), the third Imam of Shiites who sacrificed everything for the sake of Islam.

Gradually, she became familiar with the works of other poets.
In 2003, she felt some poems flowed from her soul.
Anybody who reads her poems is surprised by the charming simplicity of her lyrics.
She said her husband’s encouragement was effective in her success.
