In this latest anthology Leonard continues to be angrier, funnier and more insightful than many voices on the contemporary poetic scene. Even the surliest of readers will find it hard to resist the blend of subtlety, honesty and emotion that pervades his work. Access to the Silence is a testament to the many voices and stylistic bravura of Tom Leonard, all of which confirm his importance as a writer, both within Scotland and far beyond.
