Revised Edition. Pure transparency. What can be more interesting? A candid depiction of an engineer, seaman, manic depressant, and writer/poet, named David Fredette. An engineering degree and a Coast Guard issued Marine Engineering License made him a seaman. As a seaman, David took the con as a Marine Engineering Officer, standing watch, and performing maintenance, aboard various ships, at sea. Over time, Fredette performed well, but eventually succumbed to a nervous breakdown, which led to a lot of recovery time, where he took to writing one poem per week, for one year. Thus, Latent Heat A Years Worth was published.
