'Welcome, everyone, to the launch of Margaret Bradstock’s latest and ninth poetry collection Alchemy of the Sun, published by David Musgrave of Puncher & Wattmann. Puncher & Wattmann are one of the main outlets for publishing poetry in Australia, and I think the best. There would be quite a few poets nationally who feel immensely grateful for that support. David will be selling copies of the book up the back, so be sure to grab one if you haven’t already.' (Introduction)
