Sculptor Wayne Porter is also a poet and many of his poems correspond to his sculptures at Porter Sculpture Park.
"American Gothic - Shepherd's Dream" is a hauntingly beautiful poem inspired by loss and is one of several poems quoted and explained in the book "The Power of the Bull: Inside the Head of Sculptor Wayne Porter."
The book explores the audacity and tenacity it took to create the sculpture park, which is listed as one of America's top roadside attractions and is a South Dakota icon. It takes you inside the sculptor's head to see what inspired him and influenced his work.
Filled with 50 artful photos, the book was written by award-wining journalist, photographer and artist Sue Speck, who has known Wayne since pre-school. The book includes a sculpture index to serve as a self-guided tour at the the sculpture park.
