""Children of the Swamp"" Author, J.F. Rizza has set out to not only accomplish his personal best in the writing of this novel, but also to accomplish his personal bees in his quest to land the fish of a lifetime. He knew the moment he entered the realm of the swamp that a novel was eminent. However, he did not originally set out with the intention of writing a a novel. Instead the novel seemed to seek him out and demanded of him to be written. The story begins as our main character, a poet, attempts to break a bad case of writer's block by taking a peaceful hiatus to Florida. Being unfamiliar with the region and its people, he accepts an invitation to go fishing with two locals and soon finds himself venturing out into the Escambia River basin alone with his newly found acquaintances. As he finds himself traveling further and further out into this vast wilderness, he realized his vulnerability and dependency on these swamp-fold. Thus the story unfolds. With his writer's block broken, his prose and poetry flow freely throughout the text, coloring it and drawing you the reader deeper and deeper into the spirit of the swamp. The adventure grows as does the understanding of the swamp, its people and its pitfalls. The focus now being on his new found obsession, fishing for that monster of a catch, is the stuff of which legends are made. Rizza's writing style is captivation, colorful and rick in metaphor. His sense of character development is outstanding, and the storyline believable. Some of what you read will be very new to you, and much of it you will relate to quite readily. Fisherman, naturalists, campers, survivalists and readers with an interest in prose, poetry and unique American folk culture will find this book to be a ""must read."" The time has now come.
