The fourth in Massey's delightful, small format hardback memoir series, Raiment chronicles poet Jan Kemp's early childhood and teenage years, and ends in 1974 when, in her early 20s, she leaves NZ for good. Kemp was born in 1949 in Hamilton, grew up in Waikato before moving to Auckland with her family, and attended Auckland University during a very fertile period in arts and literature. She broke new ground as a female poet at that time, and was friends with many of the big names in the burgeoning visual arts, pottery and literature worlds. She writes evocatively and nostalgically of seedy flats, sexual and drug experimentation in Auckland in the 1960s and 70s. The book is illustrated with personal and family photographs, and a good selection of Kemp's poetry. It's a fine addition to the series
