Analysis of Will I Too Be Cast Away (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



Will I Too Be Cast Away   (Bussokusekika)

Am I nothing more
Than clay to you in your eyes
Something you may sculpt
To sooth your creative side
And what if I’m not perfect
Will I too be cast away

About this poem

Who can understand sculptors…Some are never satisfied with their own creations the have formed with their delicate hands…And most of their creations are merely tossed on the growing pile of what they consider their failures…
