Long abstractCovert Plants: Vegetal Consciousness and Agency in an Anthro-pocentric World is an anthology of interdisciplinary essays and creative works, which charts the transformation in the concep-tual and ethical status of plants in an era of changing climates. It presents a range of academic and creative perspectives from evo-lutionary biology to literary theory, from philosophy to poetry, at a time when a call for restorative care and reparative action has been sounded for the environment. The anthology contributes to the emerging field of Critical Plant Studies, at the crossover of plants and philosophy,1 literature,2 and arts,3 with a focus on the non-human components of our world.4 The essays in this anthology engage with new discoveries in plant science and evaluate how these changes affect the humanities and the arts. Art, literature, and philosophy have the capacity to mediate dif-ficult issues of climate change and present a new perspective on human–plant interactions, just as new plant science transforms these practices and disciplines.
