Duality is at the center of Flamenco Hips and Red Mud Feet, a striking collection of poems both intimate and grand. The poet, Dixie Salazar, has spent a lifetime forging her own identity out of two cultures: On one side was my fathers world: Spanish speaking from las montaas. On the other side was my mothers world: a deep Southern drawl wafting from the magnolia and chinaberry trees. As her poems reveal, she is a product of both cultures but not completely at home in either one.In the two sections of the bookInside and Outsideparallelism and symmetry interact with themes both public and private. Flamenco Hips and Red Mud Feet presents thirtynine poems in free verse and traditional poetic forms, especially the sonnet and adaptations of the sonnet. The sonnetusually consisting of the octet (eight lines) that sets up the main idea of the poem and the sestet (six lines) that resolves, answers or completes the poemis a natural form for a poet whose identity is divided. Double sonnets and doublelinked sonnets doubled reflect the duality the poet feels inside her skin. And the poems written to and for a lost sister reinforce the theme.Throughout this provocative book, Salazar navigates the alienation of her cultural inbetweenness. By the end, she appears to become more comfortable with her status of outsider, deciding that she doesnt need to give in to pressures to pick a side or to accept others ideas of where her own borders begin or end.
