“Symphony of Queer Errands gave me one of the nutsest reading experiences I've ever had. It's dreamlike, but way cleverer and more crackup than a dream. And shot through with stunning bolts of reality. Gift yourself disturbance and read it! It's fully actually unlike anything else.” - Freya Daly Sadgrove
“Rachel O'Neill's Symphony of Queer Errands is a riot rather than a lament, a ‘tiny lustrous inferno’, a ‘series of brazen ecstasies’ sounded through a panoply of gay (joyous, queer) instruments. Braiding absurdity, humour and beauty into an erotic composition reminiscent of the work of Anne Carson (the highest compliment I can offer), this book is an exquisite incantation, gloriously prickling with love.” - Amy Brown
