In "Cracking Geodes Open," Sherry O'Keefe crystalizes moments of experience and memory gathered or chiseled from relationships. Her finds range from the mountains and plains of Montana, to the farms and villages of Ireland, and the streets of Manhattan. With a deft use of direct narrative and spare lyrical forms, O'Keefe turns over each stone, examining its weathered face, finding its one true seam. Once inside, we get a strong sense of place, a feeling of being at home in the world, among friends. These crystalline poems reminded me that, ultimately, we are part of a larger, more complex formation of relationships, a constellation of old and new friends, loves, acquaintances, and close or distant relations, some of whom we have not yet met.
--Scot Siegel, Untitled Country Review

I've never been to Montana, but I've been in it through this book. I've never lived another's life, but I do feel like I've experienced one through these pages. I've had this book for some time now and find myself continually returning to it, each visit rewarding me, each visit different. I'm a sucker for people-watching and also for the simple pleasures in life, both of which are amply heaped upon me in these pages.In a world that seems so disposable and frantic it's good to find words that anchor you a little longer, that offer a sense of recall, and that is what you should look forward to in this book. If you usually pass over poetry then allow me to advise you that here you will find just how far poetry has come, and just how skillfuly the author gives you both a poetic and a prosaic experience at the same time. The author not only shows you what she sees, she gives you the eyes through which to see. Too often we race across the printed english langage withought feeling just how carefully the author waited, then weighted her words. These poems will drag you back to feel that weight, that telling way. Only really good writers and poets can do that. If you are a poet or a reader of poetry, then simply enjoy this fine-art work. If you want to hear what magic can be done with words like, 'torn, books, horse, boots, block and Luke,' then you will just have to buy it and read 'Will'. There are about fifty two other poems to enjoy....INSTRUCTIONS...1)buy book 2)read poems 3)read them again4) No, READ them again...haha OMG, didn't I just tell you so!Product details

Cracking Geodes Open Sherry O'Keefe 9780615665894 Books Reviews
The poems I've read in the book so far strike me as skilled but derivative. What Sherry has shown me privately (Nine Months, When the Rain Pushes the River Out of Shape, the title "Running Out of Keyboard") makes me wonder if Sherry O'Keefe isn't the best poet now writing. Her poems are filled with mastery of pace, startling line breaks, detonation after detonation of imagery and perception. The individual lines of her poems are beautiful in the most forthcoming way imaginable. Waiting for a Tuna Melt (in the book) reaches that level. I promise to do a better job of reading the book but try to find her more recent work. We were friends for a while but I decided with some anguish that I couldn't sustain a friendship with someone who writes so deeply and so beautifully.
Best poetry on the planet, really a great look at life many of us have not seen, 5 stars +++
Ms. O'keef is a talented poetess. I have been following her work for many years.
