Shawna Ayoub explores a retelling of a beloved classic and points out how retellings can provide structure and an end point from the start of writing.

Shawna Ayoub highlights the use of word-count containers to focus sometimes-painful stories in a collection of 131 essays under 300 words each.

Shawna Ayoub moves "beyond the book review" to dig into Jenn Givhan's use of footnotes in two poems from her latest book, Belly to the Brutal.
