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.
