Abstract | Kurt Cobain's "Journals," in the expressive quality of their form and content, cause one to wonder just why the journal has fallen out of fashion in contemporary composition. Certainly, earlier compositionists in our field saw the journal as a crucial tool for learning to write. And critical theorists (e.g., Maurice Blanchot) find the journal significant in helping create a literary space for the writer. In this article, I address this issue, looking at Cobain and other journal-writers (Joseph Cornell and a couple of my students) to give us pause as regards the daybook's elision from our curriculum.
