Purely Sander

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rein Sander (born December 3, 1945 in Võiste, Tahkuranna municipality ) is an Estonian poet and botanist.

Life

Rein Sander graduated from high school in Pärnu in 1964 and then studied biology at the University of Tartu . After graduating as a botanist in 1972, he worked in the laboratory of the Zoological and Botanical Institute of the Academy of Sciences in Tartu (now part of the Estonian University of Environmental Sciences ) until 1977 . After a brief employment in the Lahemaa National Park (1977) he was then director of a tree nursery (1977–1985) and horticultural specialist in a collective farm (1985–1990). After 1990 he was an official in the Estonian Farmers' Union, and since 2000 he has been an entrepreneur specializing in the cultivation of medicinal plants.

Rein Sander has been a member of the Estonian Writers' Union since 1983 and lives in Karinu, Järva County .

plant

Rein Sander published his first poems in 1964 and published his debut volume in 1976. Even here, the criticism pointed to numerous connections to Japanese Zen poetry , by which the poet was strongly influenced. Within Estonian literature, he stands in the tradition of Ernst Enno , who has numerous references to Near and Far Eastern poetry and - like Sander - was certainly influenced by Maurice Maeterlinck . At the same time, parallels were also seen with contemporary authors such as Jaan Kaplinski and Viivi Luik , and later with Hando Runnel and Juhan Viiding or Doris Kareva and Karl Ristikivi . The other volumes of poetry by Sander also remained entirely on the "ecological line" and were praised by one critic as "green, fragrant, warm and soft as a chamomile meadow".

Sander has also written numerous handbooks on the nature and botany of Estonia.
