In Spills Angela Leighton combines poetry, memoir, libretto, short
story, prose-poetry and translation, slipping between genres while
hearing the conversations between them. 'You start from who you
are, and walk and walk', she writes, in the spirit of free-voyaging
that defines this collection. The prose tells, semi-fictionally, of
the poet's life as the daughter of a composer-father and Italian
mother, a life split between languages and places, north and south,
often among curious and memorable characters. The poems address
related themes of place and language, war and peace, the landscape
of southern Italy and the Christian story of the Passion. The
conversations between different forms and motifs are a result of
Leighton's approach to writing almost as a strain of musical
composition. The writing is often about music, but it is also a
search for music in writing. The collection closes with a
significant new body of translations and adaptations of the
Sicilian poet Leonardo Sciascia, Spills's luminous other voice,
'seeking its own heart of music'
