'Chester is the first Australian poet to write poetry in the jokey, colloquial style of what is known as the New York school ― poets such as John Ashbery, Frank O’Hara and Kenneth Koch, who threw phrases at the page like an action painting, and treated meanings as objects to toy with and abandon. Ten years younger than the founding members of the New York school, Chester was writing poems like theirs at about the same time ― starting in the second half of the 1950s. He is unlikely to have read their work.' (Publication summary)
