Soon they both self-identified as gay, although they did not separate until 1974, the year that Hacker published her first book of poetry, Presentation Piece, which won the 1975 National Book Award.
The couple thoroughly explored the counterculture of the 1960s, including sexual experimentation. They lost their first pregnancy, then had a daughter. In 1961, she married Delany, who would later explain that they took their vows in Michigan because it was one of only two states where an underage interracial couple could marry. Already a serious writer, there she met a classmate and another prodigy in a hurry, future science fiction writer Samuel R. Born in 1942, she graduated at 15 from New York City’s most competitive public high school, The Bronx High School of Science. MARILYN HACKER was a prodigy in a hurry, and at one point the youngest contestant on the TV show Quiz Kids.
