Maximum Summer is a 2025 debut poetry collection by Sylee Gore, published by Nion Editions. The book was published after Gore won the 2022 Queen Mary Wasafiri New Writing Prize in Fiction. [1]
Leonora Simonovis, writing for the Poetry Foundation, observed Gore's poems about birth and motherhood, stating that "In a strong, lyrical voice, Gore delivers short, image-driven scenes that give an account of the speaker’s physical and emotional experiences as a new mother." [2]
The London Magazine called the book "an ambitious pamphlet, grappling with questions concerning the epistemological, metaphysical and political" and lauded Gore's ability to make intimacy out of the abstract. [3]
