Eunoia is the shortest word in English containing all five vowels - and it means "beautiful thinking". It is also the title of Canadian poet Christian Bok's book of fiction in which each chapter uses only one vowel.I thought the constraints of the form made the prose strangely compelling. Necessity is the mother of invention is it not? ( although the problem is self created in this case ) Whether i could read a whole book of it is another matter.
