“Most spectacular...<i> Daybook</i> is full of all the luminous colors Truitt evoked—the soothing lilacs, blaring yellows, revolutionary reds. It’s a powerful lesson that an artist is not only a person who planes towering poplar sculptures but also someone who removes a splinter from a child’s finger.” <b>—Hillary Kelly, <i>The Atlantic</i></b><br /> <br /> "Truitt’s frankness and intellectual curiosity about the hows and whys of a working artist’s life has made <i>Daybook </i>something of a touchstone for aspiring artists and writers." <b>—Megan O'Grady, <i>The New Yorker</i></b><br /> <br /> “A remarkable record of a woman’s reconciliation of art, motherhood, memories of childhood, and present-day demands." <b>—Anne Morrow Lindbergh</b><br /> <br /> “Daybook is a rare gift, illuminating and nourishing, a journal to read and re-read.” <b>—May Sarton</b><br /> <br /> “One of the great artists of our time, it’s a treat to be allowed into Anne Truitt’s mind as she contemplates the ups and downs of being an artist, mother and friend.” <b>—Brie Larson</b> <br /> <br /> “A natural and graceful writer…Truitt’s self-examination is unflinching and, at every moment, possessed of the inevitable dignity that attends a genuine commitment to telling the truth about oneself.” <b>—<i>Art in America</i></b>
