A satiric and searing collection of poetry obsessed with
television, oceans, Jewish history, and time. Nature isn't dying
it's simply revising its target audience In Shifting Baseline
Syndrome , Aaron Kreuter asks the hard questions: will the
Anthropocene have a laugh track? Is it okay to marry your
eighteenth cousin? How different would the world look from outside
the life-frame of the human? What is it like to have an acid trip
in a portapotty? Is it the end . . . of Earth? Of capitalism? Of
television? Throughout Kreuter's sophomore collection, the TV
remote is never far. Shifting Baseline Syndrome is both searching
and searing, veering between satire and sincerity, history and
prophecy, and human and non-human worlds. As these clash
ecstatically with loathing-and with the end looming-Kreuter
demonstrates why we'll keep doing what we've always done: hoping,
for once, that the series finale will be good.
