2018 is wrapping up with a bang for writer, teacher, and URI PhD, Theo Greenblatt. Her prose, traversing a range of genres from flash and short fiction to memoir to Montaignian essay, has caught the attention of numerous editors this year. In the early spring, Theo’s short story, “Solitaire” won first prize in the prestigious London Magazine’s annual short story contest, and she traveled to London for the awards celebration at the House of Commons. As a result, she was honored by some terrific press from URI and local Rhode Island papers and more recently, Boston arts e-zine, It’s All about Arts, chose Theo as the cover story for their November issue. Her other publications in the spring and summer included a haunting “Me, Too” memoir entitled “Juicy Fruit” in Salt Hill Journal; a flash fiction piece, “Lotus Flower,” in Meat for Tea: The Valley Review, and another short story, “Hyperosmia,” in the Santa Fe Writers Project Quarterly. Currently, her essay, “Not Dead Yet,” an insider’s take on the early ‘80s Boston punk scene, is online in the Fall issue of JENNY, and two more short publications are anticipated: a flash fiction work entitled “Archangel” will appear in The Normal School Online shortly, and a flash essay, “Infrastructure,” will debut in the upcoming issue of The Lindenwood Review. In addition to these varied publications, Theo’s nonfiction piece, “La, La How the Life Goes On,” was chosen as a finalist in the Arts & Letters 2018 “Unclassifiables” contest, attesting to the diversity of her writing. She looks forward to finding a publisher soon for a book-length memoir on ‘70s counter-culture education as well as a collection of short stories.
