The volume brings together two books: \u003ci\u003eSovint el somni\u003c\/i\u003e, about twenty luminous poems that celebrate literary imagination, and \u003ci\u003eHaikus de convalescència\u003c\/i\u003e, a suite of thirty-five masterful haikus that narrate a moral conflict laden with humanity. The reader will find a collection of poems that is, at once, a song of resistance and a meditation on the fragility of existence, where beauty and courage intertwine to reconstruct a wholeness free from self-deception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEl temps sofert\u003c\/i\u003e is a book that explores the duality of time lived and time endured. In the first part, \u003ci\u003eSovint el somni\u003c\/i\u003e, Formosa unfolds a luminous and festive poetry that invites imagination as a refuge and a tool for resistance. The second part, \u003ci\u003eHaikus de convalescència\u003c\/i\u003e, delves into more intimate and reflective territory: through the brief and precise form of the haiku, the author reconstructs a process of physical and moral convalescence, where an ethical conflict emerges regarding the capacity to endure. The title plays with the double meaning of \"sofert\"—to have suffered and to be endured—to propose a third way: that of making both experiences inseparable. It is poetry that speaks of courage, not as a blind force, but as the bravery of someone who fights to rebuild a fragile wholeness without renouncing beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMoral resistance and the capacity to overcome suffering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLiterary imagination as celebration and refuge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eConvalescence as a process of existential recomposition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe duality of time: time lived and time endured.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe fragility of human wholeness and the courage to rebuild oneself without self-deception.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers of contemporary poetry interested in the work of Feliu Formosa, as well as those looking for a mature poetic voice that combines formal experimentation with deep ethical reflection.
