About Three Rooms Press

The name of our press came from a line in Harold Pinter's play, "The Homecoming."

Since 1993, Three Rooms Press has been a leading independent publisher of poetry, literature and drama. Inspired by Dada predecessor Arthur Craven, TRP publishes and promotes work that inspires in unique, thrilling, fearless and intimate style. In addition, TRP produces and promotes a variety of events; since 1993 it has staged more than 400 events in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Las Vegas and Europe, including poetry readings, plays, writing workshops, seminars, musical events and one-of-a-kind madcap concoctions.
