Marilyn Hacker
Marilyn Hacker is a Poétesse the United States, born in 1942.
Of a Jewish family cultivated, it marries at the eighteen years age a young black author of the same age, Samuel Delany. They have a girl, and live each one on their side freely. They divorce in 1979.
She makes known herself for her poems as of the University. Some of its poems appear thus in a novel of her husband, Babel 17 (1966), of which it inspired heroin Rydra Wong.
Criticisms generally place it in the line of Adrienne Rich. It dedicated certain poems to Muriel Rukeyser, Edmund White or Genevieve Pastre. Beyond affinities (Bisexuality, Feminism), it has a very personal tone and a taste of the formal research which pushed it to be interested in the fixed forms of French poetry like the Villanelle. It also translated French poets like Venus Khoury-Ghata, Hédi Kaddour or Claire Malroux.
Marilyn Hacker teaches the English Littérature in City University of New York. It is divided between New York and Paris.
