"Reading "it was today, today, you will feel much better about your tomorrows. It is the work of a master of Musketeer Bebop Poetics, the wild big-hearted wit of American poetry Andrei Codrescu. it was today ranges from short sharp hits to longer rambles, including the wonderful sequence 'Lu Li & Weng Li, ' a miniature novel in verse, and many trips back to past todays ('eliade: a poem'). Andrei's Poet's Hat with its Grand Panache leads the way through this madding vale of tears and laughter: as long as we don't lose sight of it, we'll make it through."–Anselm Hollo
