Book Description
Winner of the Griffin Poetry Prize (2002) Stunning and masterful in its execution, Eunoia is a five-chapter book in which each chapter is a univocal lipogram. The word ‘eunoia,’ which literally means ‘beautiful thinking,’ is the shortest word in English that contains all five vowels. Directly inspired by the Oulipo (l’Ouvroir de LittÃ©rature Potentielle), a French writers’ group interested in experimenting with different forms of literary constraint, Eunoia is a five-chapter book in which each chapteris a univocal lipogram – the first chapter has A as its only vowel, the second chapter E, etc. Each vowel takes on a distinct personality: the I is egotistical and romantic, the O jocular and obscene, the E elegiac and epic (including a retelling of the Iliad!). Stunning in its implications and masterful in its execution, Eunoia has developed a cult following, garnering extensive praise and winning the Griffin Poetry Prize. The original edition was never released in the U.S., but it has already been a bestseller in Canada and the U.K. (published by Canongate Books), where it was listed as one of the Times’ top ten books of 2008. This new edition features several new but related poems by Christian Bok and an expanded afterword. 'Eunoia is a novel that will drive everybody sane.' —Samuel Delany 'Eunoia takes the lipogram and rendersit obsolete.' —Kenneth Goldsmith 'A marvellous, musical texture of rhymes and echoes.' —Harry Mathews 'An exemplary monument for 21st century poetry.' —Charles Bernstein 'BÃ¶k's dazzling word games are the literary sensation of the year.' —The Times 'A resounding success ... brilliant.' —The Guardian 'Brilliant ... beautiful and strange.' —Today Programme, BBC Radio 4 'Impressive.' —Sunday Telegraph 'No mere Christmas stocking filler for Countdown fans. Rather, it's an ingenious little novel ... playful and irreverent ... charming.' —Metro

Book Description
‘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, Bök has worked this into a series of compelling narratives and rhythms.

Book Description
Eunoia is a haunting collection of eclectic poems, some light and breezy, others dark and gripping, some offering solace and comfort, others setting you thinking about the meaning of life and everything we do. Yet throughout, Majethia very boldly helps the reader explore and discover, jump into danger, into depths, dare, and dream, showing the reader what a fascinating and twisted feeling it is to live within the skin of the universe rather than live on top of it. Its a must-have collection for every genre of thinker as it speaks to everyone, from the timid wallflower and the soul-seeker to the tormented, the devout, the enthusiast . . . and people all along the spectrum of possible emotions and existence. Also interspersed with thought-provoking answer this and say-it-to-yourself styled affirmations, Eunoia is a literary treat that will never lose its relevance.

Book Description
In this dimly lit world, among the scattered voices and meaningless chatter, Renata Pavrey’s whimsical collection invites us to glide through twilight in a park, to return from the letterbox with a much-awaited letter, to dance with fireflies, to savor the tang of orange zest, or run our fingers lovingly across the spines in a bookcase. Eunoia is a state of positivity which reflects a well balanced mind exhibiting goodwill and kindness. Engage, uplift, nurture, outshine, ignite, and astound – Eunoia is a celebration of the things we do. Pavrey offers a quotidian that is both familiar and surprising through verses that cover a range of topics from pets to plants, sports and food, and aim to bring attention to the things that light up our days, however trivial they might seem to others. The Japanese senryu and French villanelle, blank verse and acrostics, nestled alongside rhymed poetry, cinquain, limerick, ode, soliloquy, epistolary, tanka, and vers libre. Everyday topics addressed through classical verse.
