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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Throughout Kreuter's sophomore collection, the TV remote is never far. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eShifting Baseline Syndrome \u003c\/i\u003eis both searching and searing, veering between satire and sincerity, history and prophecy, and human and non-human worlds.
