Summary/Abstract: The poems of Ágnes Nemes Nagy have already been examined from an ecocritical perspective, but my primary focus is the enhanced vegetal presence in her works. Here, plants do not resemble animals; instead, they reveal their radical strangeness, which is interwoven with our own lives. I reflect on two aspects of the vegetal life form: desirelessness, detectable from her early volumes, and the passivity of plants as vulnerability and transformability. These poems challenge our concept of life by presenting a life form not based on individual desire, thus opening new possibilities for understanding ourselves and our shared territories
