It tracks from an innocent Waikato childhood\u003cbr\u003eto the seedy flats of Auckland, where anarchic student life, drugs, sexual experimentation and a failing marriage could not keep her away from poetry. She became one of the few young women poets of her era to be allowed into the then male poet club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeaving its own patterns and colours, Raiment shines a clear-eyed light on the heady, hedonistic hothouse of our literary community in the 1970s and reveals what it took, back then, to be an independent woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo look inside, click\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/masseypress\/docs\/raiment_look_inside\" title=\"Issuu\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"strapline\"\u003e‘For its perceptiveness, revelation, introspection, subtle prose and occasional poems, Jan Kemp’s\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eRaiment\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis an accomplished, necessary read.’ — Siobhan Harvey,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ketebooks.co.nz\/all-book-reviews\/raiment-a-memoir-d5e3z\" title=\"Kete\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKete\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"strapline\"\u003e‘A young life lived in thrall to love and language’ — Steve Braunias, Newsroom\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"strapline\"\u003e‘It brings the reader right next door to you’ — Morrin Rout\u003cem\u003e, Bookenz\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"strapline\"\u003e‘An important testament to the history of New Zealand literature’ — Cathie Dunsford, Newsroom\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Massey Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67705498272064,"sku":"RAIE","price":16.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/6614\/6624\/files\/9781991151148.jpg?v=1769140955","url":"https:\/\/masseypress.ac.nz\/products\/raiment-ebook","provider":"Massey Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
