Poetry-01
The Three Rooms Press story begins in 1993 in San Francisco. Founders Kat Georges and Peter Carlaftes were amazed at the amount of great poetry that was read at the terrific underground poetry readings in the Bay Area, at places like Cafe Babar, the Paradise Lounge, and the Albion. In an effort to preserve some of these poems, Kat and Peter started Three Rooms Press and published chapbooks done in a convenient, hip pocket size. After relocating to New York in 2003, they continued to discover cutting-edge poets at underground readings at Cornelia Street Cafe, the Bowery Poetry Club, and later, the Parkside Lounge. The poetry chapbooks continued, and developed into full-length poetry collections, perfect bound, with beautiful layout and design. Currently Three Rooms Press is focusing on expanding its fiction, nonfiction, biography and memoir titles. But poetry remains close to our heart.
