Enrique Martìnez Celaya's blog, *Bad Time for Poetry*, began on August 24, 2007, and ended on May 25, 2009. In the emergence of the literary genre of the blog, *Bad Time for Poetry* existed as an antiblog, showing how this literary genre can be used to cultivate and preserve cultural commentary that has lasting value and is mindful of the past and responsible to the future. His posts were intended to be read closely, contemplated, and assimilated into readers' lives. Martìnez Celaya's blog is now preserved in this complete compilation of his posts.
