Beautiful Vowels

Although I'm not a big fan of poetry, I thought this was an interesting idea



"Eunoia is the shortest word in English containing all five vowels - and it means 'beautiful thinking'"

BBC featured the book by Canadian poet Christian Bok, which has 5 chapters: each using exclusively one vowel. "Mr Bok believes his book proves that each vowel has its own personality, and demonstrates the flexibility of the English language."

The link has excepts from each chapter, I think e is my favorite.
