Nationwide — Cultural storyteller, educator, and author, Phoebe Eligon-Jones (also known as Blupoetres) announces the release of her transformative new poetry collection, Call Her Woman and Bend the Knee, a work that boldly restores reverence, voice, and divine identity to women and girls of color. Rooted in ancestral memory, spiritual truth, and lyrical excellence, the book is both a declaration and a demand: to name Black womanhood as sacred, to honor its endurance, and to recognize its unbreakable power.
Through richly layered sonnets that move between intimacy and invocation, Blupoetres confronts the historical silencing, misnaming, and diminishing of women while simultaneously celebrating their resilience, beauty, and spiritual authority. Each piece becomes an altar—holding stories of healing, self-love, generational wisdom, and the journey from survival to sovereignty. This heroic collection of sonnets invites readers not only to witness womanhood but to bow in respect before it.
“This book is about remembering who we are and refusing to let the world define us as small,” says Blupoetres. “It is about calling a woman by her rightful name, honoring the divine within her, and recognizing that bending the knee is not about submission, but about reverence.”
Written for women, young girls, and all who seek cultural grounding and affirmation, Call Her Woman and Bend the Knee serves as both mirror and medicine. It speaks especially to communities of color, offering language that heals inherited wounds while affirming worth, beauty, and spiritual lineage. The hope for this heroic collection of sonnets is be embraced in schools, churches, women’s circles, and cultural spaces as a tool for empowerment and self-recognition.
