The Alexandra Sequence looks at contemporary life through the suggestive prism of the mummer’s play. Against the background of a city recovering from a long period of decline, much of the book adopts a ‘street’s-eye view’ of the world. The opening sequence, for instance, takes its title from an address in Liverpool, and its seven sections, which are roughly chronological, explore the psychology of moving to (and from) a new area.

John Redmond was born and brought up in Dublin. After taking a doctorate in contemporary poetry at the University of Oxford, he spent two years teaching at Macalester College in Minnesota. He was associated for some time with the poetry magazine, Thumbscrew, and has reviewed poetry for the LRB, the TLS, The Irish Times, and The Guardian.
'Ingenious, maverick, brilliantly protean - welcome to the quicksilver world of John Redmond's new collection.' David Morley
