Leonard Cohen's poetic influences

I have always been curious about Leonard Cohen hispanic influences. It's obvious that F. G. Lorca was huge for him. However, in one of his poems, he mentions having encountered the work of another titan, probably Spanish Language greatest poet: Cesar Vallejo (March 16, 1892 – April 15, 1938).
Has anyone ever heard or read something else about L C's take on this poet?

Best,
