Poïesis means "to make" in ancient Greek. (creation, from poiein, to make) This word, the root of our modern "poetry", was first a verb, an action that transforms and continues the world. Neither technical production nor creation in the romantic sense, poïetic work reconciles thought with matter and time, and man with the world.
Martin Heidegger refers to it as a 'bringing-forth', using this term in its widest sense. He thought of 'poetry' which required the poet; but he also explaied poiesis as poetry without poets--the blooming of the blossom, the coming-out of a butterfly from a cocoon, the plummeting of a waterfall when the snow begins to melt. The last two analogies underline the fact that Heidegger's example is a threshold occasion: a moment of ecstasis when something moves away from its standing as one thing to become another.
