Sinopsis

Asa Benveniste (1925-1990) who founded the legendary Trigram Press in London, 1965, ostensibly to publish Anglo-American cutting edge poetry influenced by Black Mountain poets, the New York School of Poets and the European avant-garde, was not only a self-taught, one-off maverick genius as a printer, typographer and book-designer, but also a superbly innovative language poet, whose own poetry tended to be obscured by his merits as a publisher. Throughout its duration, 1965-1978, the Trigram list epitomised ultimate hipster cool, as a leading independent, with Benveniste’s unparalleled book design extending to poets like Piero Heliczer, Jim Dine, Tom Raworth, Nathaniel Tarn, B.S. Johnson, J.H. Prynne, Barry MacSweeney and Louis Zukofsky. Jeremy Reed’s deeply personal tribute to Asa Benveniste as his enduring poetic avatar, and the encourager and publisher of his early poetry informs a book that is both an appraising memoir and a significant evaluation of Trigram Press. The book also includes a reprint of Benveniste’s collection Edge (1975), as well as miscellaneous writings of his retrieved from small press publication.

Acerca del autor

Jeremy Reed, born on a chip of rock off the coast of French Normandy, has been for decades one of Britain's most dynamic, adventurous and controversial poets. Called by the Independent "British poetry's glam, spangly, shape-shifting answer to David Bowie", his poetry, fiction and performances of his work are singularly inimitable in their opposition to grey mainstream poetry. He has published over 40 books of poetry, fiction and non-fiction, winning prestigious literary prizes such as the Somerset Maugham Award, and, on coming to live in London in the 1980s, was patronised by the artist Francis Bacon. Among his biggest fans have been the late J.G. Ballard, Pete Doherty and Björk, who called his work "'the most beautiful, outrageously brilliant poetry in the world"' Jeremy writes about every subject that British poetry considers taboo: glamour, pop, rock, sci-fi, cyber, mutant, gay, drugs, neuroscience, the disaffected and outlawed, and the fizzy big-city chemistry of the London in which he lives and creates. His performances solo, or with The Ginger Light are unrivalled in intensity.
