"BT Hayes has written a sharp-toothed collection of funny, devastating meditations on love and sex with animals, humans, and monsters. Funny, strange, and heartbreaking in equal measure. Delightfully absurd, devastatingly real."

-Zach Zimmerman, comedian and author of IS IT HOT IN HERE?

"Rhythmic and compelling, Dionysus and I Sip on Cabernet and Talk Sh*t treads the border between infatuation and disgust, glamor and grit. Each story reads like an essay from another world—where gods talk back, cities hold on, and turtles tell lies. Connected by themes of isolation, desire, and our seemingly inescapable compulsion to pursue bigger and bolder mistakes, BT Hayes's chapbook intoxicates from beginning to end."

—Marisca Pichette, author of Rivers in Your Skin, Sirens in Your Hair
