SODA WATER DREAMS

Banned books. Shattered rainbows. Classroom drills. Soda Water Dreams in a Midsummer Night turns the everyday—soda fizz, sneakers, plushies, coffee stains—into poetry that is funny, furious, weird, and unmistakably real. T. Nicole examines colonial legacies, power, and ability, while also lifting up the humor, softness, and creativity that persists in their wake. Blending Indigenous futurism with the rhythms of both the classroom and the internet, this book resonates with students, teachers, and parents alike. It’s for anyone raising, teaching, or becoming the next generation.
