It can be said that Spanish poetry was never the same after Garcilaso de la Vega. Puerto Rican poet Giannina Braschi wrote both a poetic treatise on Garcilaso de la Vega's Eclogues, as well as a book of poems in homage to the Spanish master, entitled Empire of Dreams. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2860.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2860.txt
