Eunola

The word 'eunoia', which literally means 'beautiful thinking', is the shortest word in English that contains all five vowels. Eunoia is a five-chapter book in which each chapter is a univocal lipogram (the first chapter has A as its only vowel, the second chapter only E, etc.). Each vowel takes on a distinct personality - the I is egotistical and romantic, the Ojocular and obscene, the E elegiac and epic. Stunning in its implications and masterful in its execution, Eunoia is one of the most unusual and important books of the decade.

  • "'Eunoia', which means 'beautiful thinking', is the shortest word in the English language to contain all five vowels. This book also contains them all, but never at the same time. Each of Eunoia's five chapters is univocalic: that is, each chapter uses only one vowel. A triumphant feat, seven years in the making, this uncanny work of avant-garde literature is one of the most surprising and awe-inspiring books of the year. A challenging feat of composition and technical skill, Bok has worked this into a series of compelling narratives and rhythms."
  • "2nd edition. "Eunoia," which means "beautiful thinking," is the shortest English word to contain all five vowels. This book also contains them all, except that each one appears by itself in its own chapter. A unique personality for each vowel soon emerges: A is courtly, E is elegiac, I is lyrical, O is jocular, U is obscene. A triumphant feat, seven years in the making, this uncanny work of avant-garde literature promises to be one of the most important books of the decade.--Coach House Books."@en
  • "In most of the poems in this collection, the poet uses words that contain the same single vowel, so that the only vowel used throughout all the words in "Chapter A," for instance, is the letter A."
