“Extraordinary.”—Edmund de Waal, <i>The Guardian</i><br /><br />“In its stripped-down intimacy, <i>Yield</i> shows Truitt at her most eloquent in demonstrating, as her sculptures do, that all revelation in art is self-revelation.”—Donna Rifkind, <i>Wall Street Journal</i><br /><br />“Truitt wrote as she sculpted, returning to the past again and again to find fresh truths. . . . A model of discipline and open-ended inquiry and a welcome counterweight to the kind of anxieties that so often accompany a creative practice.”—Megan O’Grady, <i>New Yorker</i><br /><br />“Her sculptures spoke in restrained form, but the artist’s journals reveal the complexities of thought and experience behind them.”—<i>Wall Street Journal</i><br /><br />Named by the <i>New Yorker</i> as a Best Book of 2022<br /><br />“Anne Truitt’s <i>Yield</i> has a tone that is rich and spare, considered and sensuous, inward-looking and utterly vibrant and vivid, fully alive in the world, inspiring for the reader.”—Colm Tóibín, author of <i>The Master</i><br /><br />“As a previously unpublished manuscript from Truitt’s archive, <i>Yield</i> affords us the opportunity to see the artist in an unusually raw state. Her words are unfailingly erudite and abundantly human.”—Miguel de Baca, author of <i>Memory Work: Anne Truitt and Sculpture</i><br /><br />“Completed two years before Truitt’s death, <i>Yield</i> recounts in crystalline prose the decline of her generation, the horrors of 9/11 and the ‘War on Terror,’ and the gratification her art brings even as its execution proves more difficult. Here is Truitt’s finest work of writing: a book as spare and deep, and ultimately wordless, as her art.”—James Meyer, author of <i>The Art of Return: The Sixties and Contemporary Culture</i><br /><br />“This extraordinary journal is Anne Truitt’s record of a searching intelligence, her meditations on memory, loss, creating art, creating a family and on age. It is a remarkable book, a tuning into ‘very tiny singular differences’ in a way that reveals Truitt’s singular brilliance as both artist and writer.”—Edmund de Waal, author of <i>The Hare with Amber Eyes</i><br /><br />“I have always kept Anne Truitt’s <i>Daybook, Turn</i>, and <i>Prospect</i> near me as I write. <i>Yield</i> is a rich encounter with the same searching, wise voice of a woman artist grappling with the complexities of her life and work. What a gift it is to have her voice in my ears once again.”—Dani Shapiro, author of <i>Inheritance</i><br /><br />
