A WAYMISH is any dumb mistake made when dealing with a customer. It's the disastrous effect of one minute's lousy service which loses a customer ready and willing to spend money. One WAYMISH. One customer lost. All future profits gone. The book's examples make excellent staff training material.

This a collection about looking, and seeing. Through it runs the story of the transformation of the poet's poor eyesight after cataract surgery. The poems look closely at a city by the sea, a small island, a valley in the Pennines, and at small natural daisies, woodlice, a tiny spider. They also look into stories from the history of these and other places and of the poet's family.
