After World War II, Benveniste, at this time known as Albert, lived in Paris, France, and in 1948 co-founded the Zero Press with George Solomos (who was then known as Thermistocles Hoetis).
[3] One of the poets they published was Lionel Ziprin, whose recollections of Benveniste appeared in Jewish Quarterly: "'He was a Turkish Jew; he had a very good poetry magazine, called The Trigram.
In London during 1965, he co-founded and managed the pioneering Trigram Press, which published work by George Barker, Tom Raworth, Jack Hirschman, J. H. Prynne, David Meltzer, B. S. Johnson, Jim Dine, Jeff Nuttall, Gavin Ewart, Ivor Cutler, Anselm Hollo, and Lee Harwood, among others.
[5] In the early 1970s, Trigram Press books were distributed by Allison and Busby, where Benveniste's close friend John Latimer Smith was sales and production director.
[6][7] In 1966, Trigram Press produced the second and final issue of a little magazine called Residu, which included work by Alexander Trocchi, William S. Burroughs, Harold Norse, Gregory Corso, Harry Fainlight, Gerard Malanga and other Beat Generation and underground writers.
