About This Item

Toronto: Coach House, 2001. Appears to be new and unread. The copyright page lists no additional printings but does not have the "First Edition" statement that true firsts have. Book is winner of the $40,000 Griffin Prize for poetry given annually to a Canadian writing in English. Five weeks on the Globe & Mail bestseller list for fiction (one of 10), and into at least 14 printings, quite an accomplishment for a book of poetry.. Second Printing. Trade Paperback Original. Fine..

Synopsis

'Eunoia', which means 'beautiful thinking', is the shortest word in the English Language 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 obsene. Seven years in the making, EUNOIA is a triumphant feat, as playful as it is awe-inspiring.
