Maximum Summer

Author: Sylee Gore

Publisher: Nion Editions (2025)

Outside a bureaucratic office, a photographer holds a newborn, haunted by what floats beyond the frame. Honest, calm, and full of ideas, MAXIMUM SUMMER moves along Berlin’s courtyards and museums but is rooted in the light of attention. This formally innovative cycle of spliced sestinas in prose won the Queen Mary Wasafiri New Writing Prize.

Each book in the first printing includes an original cyanotype handmade by the author.
