Great Regulars: "I wanted to work with the boundaries

of language," he [Ivan Doig] said. "I'm never going to be Yeats, where he has everything working just right in a poem, but I was determined to try to get that feeling in prose."

Doig rewrote the first page and a half of "This House of Sky: Landscapes of a Western Mind" at least 75 times.
