The entire world has been transformed due to a pandemic. The scope of sadness and destruction is far-reaching and wide. However, focus the world's lens. Come closer and see the effects on a much smaller scale. Tell Tales is a lyrical, moving, and insightful poetry collection written in turbulent times and offered as a companion and comfort. Poet Washashore observes the transformation of his coastal home of Provincetown, Massachusetts—a small tourist town where residents have been greatly affected. Washashore provides a unique flair, evoking a musical quality to the written word, reminiscent of times old and new. Despite the world's darkness, he paints beauteous scenes with wit and word in this work that is deep as the ocean. Can you smell the sea?
