Her new show, Les filles du QUOI?, received crucial development support from the New Brunswick Arts Board and the Canada Council for the Arts, and premiered in 2022 at Lost Nation Theater in Montpelier, Vermont. Abby’s poems and other writing have appeared in publications in Canada and the U.S., including the 2020 Best Canadian Poetry Anthology.
