Brazilian critical reflection on the environmental crisis has gained global relevance. E. Viveiros de Castro, A. Krenak, and D. Kopenawa are some of the best known, but they are not the only ones. E. Nascimento's work has also gained momentum internationally, and his latest book, Plant Thought: Literature and Plants, will undoubtedly become an essential reference for understanding not only the relationship between fiction and plants, but also how the notions of humanity and the humanities must be transformed. Plants cannot speak, but plant sensitivity and intelligence emerge in works by Alberto Caeiro/Fernando Pessoa, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Clarice Lispector, and, contemporarily, in those of Ana Martins Marques, Edimilson de Almeida Pereira, and Leonardo Fróes. To assist in our chlorophyllic listening, we are joined by important names in philosophy and cultural criticism. And as in a forest, these are just a few literary and theoretical representatives in an infinity of indeterminate and undetermined singularities, yet in constant flourishing and discovery. Evando Nascimento echoes João Cabral de Melo Neto when he states that "To live/ is to go among what lives." Only by admitting that human beings are within a complex relational network can new meanings for existence germinate. Literature, with its poetics, can be a privileged garden for these meanings, and thus the author offers us phytoliterature and phytowriting as more exact expressions of what he calls vegetal thought. This is a book that is not limited to updating a new academic "turn," much less to brandishing a posthumanism. On the contrary, this book is inspired by "the chlorophyll traces that plants themselves leave every day on the Earth's surface," embracing the effect these traces have on all living things. Finally, Plant Thought responds to the urgency of a world undergoing multiple crises and champions the relevance of literature to reimagine other ways of inhabiting the world.
