'I was invited to read the poetry at Eureka Street by Morag Fraser, sometime in the mists. She shouted me coffee at the Chinese place across Victoria Street from the magazine’s Richmond offices. That was nearly twenty years ago. As we crunched on fortune cookies, she popped the question. The messages were auspicious. I’ve been editing poetry at Eureka Street ever since and have only chosen to let go of the job this summer because it’s time. It’s time for someone else to have a go. It’s time for me to make a change and create space for other creative activities, my own and others.' (Publication summary)  

'In these (digital) pages, Morag Fraser AM needs no introduction. An editor, writer and legend in Australian literary commentary, Morag was editor of Eureka Street for its first thirteen years of existence. In the intervening years, Morag has been an adjunct professor in Humanities and Social Sciences at La Trobe University, Chair of Australian Book Review, and a judge for some of Australia’s most prestigious literary prizes including the Miles Franklin Literary Award. In 2004, she was made a Member of the Order of Australia for services to journalism.' (Introduction)
