Daybook: The Journal of an Artist

Daybook is the journal of artist Anne Truitt kept over a period of seven years. With great eloquence and sensitivity, Truitt reveals both the rigorous thought that is the framework of her art and the details of her everyday life as a mother and an artist. "It slowly dawned on me," she writes, "that the more visible my work became, the more invisible I became to myself." Her self-examination provides an engaging and thought-provoking reconciliation of her art, her memories and aspirations, and her private sphere of children and friends.
