\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rein Sander (3. XII 1945 \u2013 19. XII 2025) was a poet and botanist.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sander was born to a fisherman\u2019s family in Tahkuranna parish, P\u00e4rnu county. In 1964, he graduated from P\u00e4rnu 1st Secondary School and in 1972, as a botanist from the biology department of Tartu State University. From 1972-1976, he worked as a laboratory assistant and senior engineer at the Institute of Zoology and Botany; in 1977, senior researcher at Lahemaa national park; from 1977-1985, the principal of Ignase tree nursery of Elva Forest Management Center; from 1985-1990, a gardener and agronomist at J\u00e4rva-Jaani kolkhoz; and from 1990-1999, a consultant in the training department of the Estonian Farmers\u2019 Federation. From 1983, he was also a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union. From 2000, he was an entrepreneur at Kubja Herb Farm in Karinu village, J\u00e4rva county, where he grew herbs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sander published his first poems in 1964 and his debut collection Piltkiri<\/em> (\u2018Pictograms\u2019) in 1976. The critics have noticed connections to Japanese zen poetry in his works. In Estonian literature, Sander\u2019s works resemble Ernst Enno\u2019s, who includes numerous references to the Middle and Far East and who was influenced by Maurice Maeterlinck. Sander\u2019s following poetry collections continued with the ecology theme, earning praise from one critic who called them \u201cgreen, fragrant, warm, and soft as a meadow of chamomiles\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sander wrote numerous handbooks about Estonian nature and botany.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1986, he was awarded the Juhan Liiv Poetry Prize.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
