"... In his next book, Recollections of Gran Apachería, Dorn presents the Apaches as noble 'not in themselves / so much as in their Ideas.' Apache thought, like the Gunslinger’s, arises from dwelling undistractedly in a timeless, local space, defined by actual geographical features: 'Their leading ideas / come directly from the landform.' Western culture, in contrast, wants to control everything through the abstract force of predictive reason, which Dorn labels 'Mind.' Mind is a deadly tool in the wrong hands, and Dorn distinguishes it from the thinking practices of people who think with the landform. ..."
