A pale green book cover. In the middle is a white rectangle. A large red stamp displays the book title: TOM LEONARD: INTIMATE VOICES: 1965–1983. Above the stamp is a poem, set as if typed on a typewriter:

in the beginning was the word 
in thi beginning was thi wurd 
in thi beginnin was thi wurd 
in thi biginnin was thi wurd 
n thi biginnin wuz thi wurd 
nthi biginnin wuz thi wurd

Tom Leonard’s 1984 poetry collection INTIMATE VOICES was banned in Scotland’s Central Region school libraries. The Education Committee said

β€œThere are some harmful words in it … Sometimes the naked truth has to be clothed”

But Leonard had anticipated this sort of reaction…
