Abstract

There is conversation and convergence between Suzanne Roussi Césaire’s essays and Aimé Césaire’s poems. Lilian Pestre de Almeida, in the afterword to the edition of A grande camuflagem (2021), points out some of them: passages from Aimé quoted by Suzanne and passages from Suzanne taken up and reworked by Aimé. Both interrogate Martinican identity and its specific intersection of colonial past, assimilated present, and desired future; in both recur figurations of nature, and particularly, in Aimé Césaire’s poetry, figurations of person-plant. I present in this paper the notion of plant-person formulated in two essays by Suzanne Césaire and a translation of Aimé Césaire's poem “Les purs-sang”, which poetically figures this notion.
