Description - One Another by Peter Dale
Dale's acclaimed sonnet sequence. One Another, concerns, as its title suggests, a long-term relationship between a man and woman. As Dale himself has written: 'The poems present the male and female sensibility of each partner as they relate to each other and respond to significant events, attitudes and details of their lively relationship. Terry Eagleton, one of the book's finest critics, described One Another as 'the most distinguished [collection] has produced to date' and went on to say: 'Dale has always worked best in fairly rigorous lambic forms, sensing adroitly when to ruffle, slacken or telescope a line, and it therefore isn't surprising that the sonnet form works for him so impressively. His work has always been unheroically low-keyed...but here, while preserving that "literalism of the imagination" at which his poetry is so accomplished, he ventures into more explicitly lyrical terrain, more imaginatively fertile than before, perhaps more confident that the terseness of the form will curb emotionalist excess...'
