News at Eleven: "It was pretty revolutionary for me,"

[Hannah] Zeavin now recalls of O'Hara's poetry, which she devoured during her days off from school. She went on to take four years of poetry at Saint Ann's School in Brooklyn, work closely with a literary mentor, win a handful of distinguished prizes and read everything from classical to contemporary poetry. Now a published poet at the age of 18 with her first book, "Circa," Zeavin is both excited and afraid of what the book's official release in April will mean for her career as a writer--especially because she has not been able to write since arriving on campus.
