Three Pillars Poetry Press – Great Poetry, New Writers, Quality Books. Three Pillars Press publishes poetry pamphlets from emerging poets. Their mission is to provide new poets with an opportunity to publish their poetry in pamphlet form. In 2026 they held an open submission period for new poets to submit their pamphlets. The renowned poet Eleanor Hooker was the external judge. They had 127 entries of which 27 were longlisted. 10 entries made the short list. Poet and former DNLF chairperson Eleanor Hooker judged the entries and the winner is The Outside World by Niamh Twomey and the runner up is Elaine Westnott-O’Brien with M(other)ing. These two poets will be reading from their new pamphlets at this event.
