Monday art house: Eunoia


Canadian poet Christian Bök has just published Eunoia, a "univocal lipgram" -- a book in which he limits himself to using a single vowel for all the words in each chapter. The chapters themselves are not numbered, but are lettered: A, E, I, O, and U. (Note that the title of the book uses all five.) The BBC website provides excerpts, a short audio passage read by the author, and reader contributions of single-vowel paragraphs.
