Abstract
“Words like Glass Windows” is a collection of essays written and edited during Suzanne Evans’ study at Ohio University. The collection includes seven essays in total. Four longer, memoir-based essays speak to the author’s experiences with belief, religious faith, her father, and Bruce Springsteen, and three shorter essays of meditative reflection focus intently on the entities central to the longer essays. Though it visits a range of topics, the collection as a whole speaks to the singular yet universal nature of human experience and presents the essay as a window that both reveals and reflects. The collection is preceded by a critical introduction in which Evans discusses the driving theory behind her own work—a theory established through the metaphor of art as window—and situates that metaphor among popular historic metaphors, including art as window and art as lamp.
