Kallman met the poet W.H. Auden in 1939, they fell in love and were partners for 35 years.
Kallman was a young and, apparently, very beautiful poet, and the early idyllic stretches of their affair inspired the most beautiful of modern love poems:
Kallman was bright and warm and lucky, though not at all still, which turned out to be a problem.

While Kallman embraced his homosexuality and was campily outrageous, Auden was uncomfortable in his and became conservative and conventional.
On the island of Ischia in the bay of Naples, a family friend (the young poet Anthony Hecht) introduced her into a small circle of expatriates, at whose center were W.H. Auden and his companion, the librettist Chester Kallman.
Kallman comes across as a more unbuttoned character, an emotional man of much charm and considerable talent who was undone by his private demons.

Harold Norse, Chester Kallman, and Robert Friend were part of the same Depression-era generation: they all studied at Brooklyn College and were dedicated poets.
In 1939 Kallman, who was an editor of Nocturne, a Brooklyn College literary magazine, became the lover of the world-famous English poet W.H. Auden, who had come to the United States earlier that year.
Kallman and Auden shared an interest in opera and together wrote the libretto for Igor Stravinsky’s opera The Rake’s Progress and translated operas of Mozart.

 BOOKS OF THE TIMES - New York Times
In short, had Auden been able to legalize what he regarded as his marriage to Chester Kallman, then one could almost have said of Dorothy Farnan that she began as Auden's student, continued as his rival and ended up his stepmother-in-law.
She convinces us that though Kallman betrayed Auden for another lover two years later - thereby provoking Auden to murderous rage and permanently ending their physical relationship - Wystan, as she calls him throughout, was still willing to give up eros and settle permanently for agape, or spiritual love.
She leaves us with little doubt that though Kallman strained that love increasingly with his promiscuous and romantic nature, he remained the constant in Auden's life and permitted him to realize, as he put it in a letter to Kallman, ''all that love is intended to be.''

 The New York Review of Books: KALLMAN IN ATHENS
The young man who accompanied Chester to a poetry reading two nights before his death (and to the reception after it, which Farnan says he did not attend) is a case in point.
By choosing to wait for the paramedics, and to submit to all the ensuing formalities of that endless morning, Vassilis would spend the next twenty-four hours in jail and be confined to his barracks for a month.
However, at least one of Wystan's letters to Chester, "discovered by the author on the floor of Dr. Kallman's laboratory in 1946" and quoted here by its recipient's posthumous stepmother, may well have remained in the family.

 Wystan and Chester -- A Personal Memoir of W. H. Auden and Chester Kallman -- Thekla Clark James Fenton
The first nuanced, personal portrait of Auden and Kallman's relationship of more than thirty years, Wystan and Chester opens a window on a central aspect of Auden's life that has been overlooked by most biographies and critical studies.
She chronicles the early years of their friendship, when Auden and Kallman became her young daughter Lisa's constant companions, and when their nurturing partnership helped to foster unparalleled creative output for both.
Remembering also Kallman's steady decline in his later years, Clark paints a sympathetic picture of the talented and troubled artist and of Auden's abiding love for him.

 The New York Review of Books: Undercurrents
Uncommon is the word for Chester Kallman--uncommonly attractive and uncommonly odd.
Probably no other poet of Chester Kallman's generation, the generation of 'the nineteen-twenties-born,' the generation which, as he mordantly remarks, 'had no name,' seems so singular, so dryly or vividly himself.
And yet, for all that, no other poet, I think, seems, here and there, so quaint, so much the poor proverbial drunk endlessly searching for his wallet under the streetlamp although he lost it up the alley.
