Poema histórico" by D. Martin del Barco Centenera is a historical poem written in the early 17th century. This epic work details the events surrounding the conquest of the Rio de la Plata region, providing an account of various episodes, struggles, and the cultural landscape of early colonial South America. The author, who accompanied expeditions to the New World, writes with a blend of historical fidelity and poetic expression, depicting the challenges faced by settlers and the indigenous people. The opening of the poem lays the groundwork for the narrative, presenting the poet's intentions and the historical context. It introduces Centenera's perspective as both a participant and observer during twenty-four years in America, where he witnessed the famine and harsh realities of conquest. In these initial verses, readers are invited to explore themes of exploration, conquest, and survival, as well as the specifics of the landscape and indigenous tribes that inhabited the region. The tone shifts between the stark realities of hardship and the beauty of the land, establishing a rich tapestry of life in the Río de la Plata during its tumultuous beginnings.
