Méndez-Ramírez establishes the context in which Neruda wrote Canto general, then delineates and analyzes the technical, thematic, and structural phenomena common to poems and murals in five well developed chapters.
Méndez-Ramírez posits the murals and the Canto alongside the fresco and epic genres and shows how their techniques, themes and iconology are employed by Neruda and the muralists.
He suggests, convincingly, that the Canto general must be read in light of the murals, with the murals, even as a mural in order to solve central critical problems (166).

Her remarkable career as a prima ballerina and choreographer becomes all the more remarkable when viewed together with her work as a translator of verses from the Canto General (General Song, 1950), the Latin American epic written by her friend and admirer, Pablo Neruda, the Chilean maestro destined for the Nobel Prize.
Indeed, her verse translations from the Canto published in the early 1950s introduced many to the "expansiveness," as Allen Ginsberg put it, of Neruda's voice.
The poetry that followed his experience in the Spanish Civil War, written after the famous love poems of his youth and the masterpieces of his surrealist verse from the early 1930s, was often distinguished by its partisan stamp.
