fiction + non-fiction written by abiola abrams I write mostly about love, sex, dating, relationships and finding our personal power. In addition to my debut novel DARE, my writing has been published in anthologies by Ellen
Sussman, Paula Derrow, Eve Ensler and others, as well as a weekly national urban column.
Dirty Words
features Abiola Abrams' writing along with writers Ellen Sussman, Antonya Nelson, Phillip Lopate, Martha McPhee, Jonathan
Ames, Thomas Beller, Maud and Nell Casey, Pagan Kennedy, Stephen McCauley, Elissa Schappel, Katharine Weber, and many others.
Dirty Words steps in where time-honored discussions of the birds and the bees fall
short.

A Memory, A Monologue
, A Rant and A Prayer features Abiola Abrams' writing along with writers Eve Ensler, Edward Albee, Tariq Ali, Maya
Angelou, Howard Zinn, Erin Cressida Wilson, Michael Eric Dyson, Elizabeth Lesser, Anna Deavere Smith, David Eggers, Jane
Fonda, Alice Walker, and many more. Author,
playwright and performer Ensler hosts a collection of new, personal and often powerful essays by celebrities (Kathy Najimy,
Jane Fonda), literati (Dave Eggers, Edwidge Danticat) and feminist luminaries (Carol Gilligan, Alice Walker, Maya Angelou).
Ensler made her taboo-breaking reputation with her stage production The Vagina Monologues; here, she continues in that spirit,
calling violence against women "an issue that lives smack in the middle of the world and is still not spoken, not seen,
not given weight or significance." Ensler looks to figures such as Maya Angelou, Edward Albee and Anna Deavere Smith
to jolt readers out of passivity and into the thick of the issue.
