David is a student at Vermont College of Fine Arts working towards an MFA in creative writing for children and young adults. With this series, inspired by a lecture he's given as part of his graduate residency, he explores various aspects of the "boys and reading" equation, dividing them, intriguingly enough, into two main categories of his own creation: the H.E.A.V.E.S and the NONs.
Here's the blog address: http://fomagrams.wordpress.com/ The series (#1-11) can be found in the February and March archives.
