Boleyn
For centuries, Anne Boleyn has been disparaged despite the strength she displayed in a patriarchal society. Juliette Sebock weaves primary sources into her manuscript to follow the relationship between Henry VIII and Anne - their courtship, turbulent marriage, and her heartbreaking execution.
Boleyn is the chapbook that finally gives Anne Boleyn the voice and justice she deserves.

Told as a ghost might tell it — brief, floating, recalling highlights and lowlights of a life cut short — Juliette Sebock gives a modern voice to Anne Boleyn. Anne had plans, and they turned against her. A creative way to explore this historical personality.

Boleyn, by Juliette Sebock, offers a peek into the precarious life of one of Tudor history’s most controversial queens. The poet carries us through 19 poems filled with a cacophony of emotions and chaos that surrounded the rise and fall of Henry VIII’s second wife. Though much has been written about Anne Boleyn, this unique inspection through poetry allows for the reader to set traditional narrative aside and sit with verses that ask us to contemplate Anne as a woman intent on finding her footing in a world where life and death are balanced precariously on the thumb of a king.

A well-researched, artful and empowering portrait-in-poems of one of British history's most maligned women, this collection puts the power back in Anne Boleyn's hands. Cleverly subversive and wholly enjoyable.
