  Event shapes are classical tools for the determination of the strong coupling
and for the study of hadronization effects in electron-positron annihilation.
In the context of analytical studies, hadronization corrections take the form
of power-suppressed contributions to the cross section, which can be extracted
from the perturbative ambiguity of Borel-resummed distributions. We propose a
simplified version of the well-established method of Dressed Gluon
Exponentiation (DGE), which we call Eikonal DGE (EDGE), which determines all
dominant power corrections to event shapes by means of strikingly elementary
calculations. We believe our method can be generalized to hadronic event shapes
and jet shapes of relevance for LHC physics.
