"Most spectacular...
Daybook 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."
–Hillary Kelly, The Atlantic "Truitt's frankness and intellectual curiosity about the hows and whys of a working artist's life has made
Daybook something of a touchstone for aspiring artists and writers."
–Megan O'Grady, The New Yorker "A remarkable record of a woman's reconciliation of art, motherhood, memories of childhood, and present-day demands."
–Anne Morrow Lindbergh "Daybook is a rare gift, illuminating and nourishing, a journal to read and re-read."
–May Sarton "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."
–Brie Larson "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."
–Art in America
