In this issue of the POIESIS Journal, contributors respond to the question the theme poses, "In the Midst of Crisis - What is Emerging." The answer is: poiesis in all its forms- reflective essays, poetry and artworks. Margo Fuchs Knill sets the stage by her poetic and thoughtful response to the crisis of climate change, finding hope in dark places. Essays and art-works follow by exploring the possibility of playing in the ruins and emerging with new forms. For this 20th issue of the journal, we look back at material published in the past on the theme of, "The Image Today." Even past images of destruction can be imaginatively transformed in ways that take us forward into the future. Jacques Stitelmann provides an expanded account of modalities of the imagination, and Paolo Knill invites us to decenter from past trauma and imagine future solutions. Even in the midst of crisis, the imaginative responses of contributors to this issue show us that poiesis is always possible.
