Tekst achterflap

In Green Ink and Silence
Field guide in fragments. Seasonal journal. Quiet devotion.

Amid wind-laced grasses and the hush of moss underfoot, this book follows the wild flora of Estonia and Northern Europe — not in Latin incantation alone, but in memory, movement, and myth.

Across nearly 200 species, the author invites us to walk beside him — past verge and fen, thicket and ruin — recording the presence of things often overlooked: the self-sown, the soft-stemmed, the stubbornly radiant.

With watercolour illustrations and pages that breathe between scientific entry and poetic attention, this compendium is both herbarium and hymn — a companion for those who find stillness in leaf and name.

About the Author
Dan Uvarov is a physician based in verdant Tallinn, Estonia. A lifelong admirer of the natural world, he grew up among orchard blossoms, leaf games, and quiet meadows — where seasons taught more than words ever could. This book grew slowly, companioned by his loyal dog Alma, and a wish to honour what still grows wild. He is also the book’s illustrator and designer.
