A good number of
the poems contained in Connexions were presented at poetry readings in Johannesburg.

“In Connexions, Frank Meintjies builds on
the wide range of themes that appeared in his previous work. The poems in this
collection traverse a gritty urban landscape where people strive for meaning
and, all too often, make do with mere glimpses of understanding”.
“Some poems deal with more familiar themes: dreams, musicians seeking transcendence, death that follows illness, the feeling of rain on skin and maneuvering around space and place. Others probe aspects of a changing South Africa. Using a mix of narrative style and non-linear trains of thought, Connexions surprises, provokes and forges quirky links between experiences, perspectives and phenomena”.
