“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
