This article proposes "evasiveness" as a concept that allows us to develop a relationship between the theoretical essays and the poetry of Carlos Piera. To this end, we follow the traces left by two of the possibilities of a tropology of evasion, i.e. ellipsis and contradiction, taking into consideration the influence of Baltasar Gracián in Piera's work. These figures also refer to the rhetoric of temporality of Paul de Man, an author who receives a significant treatment at different moments of Piera's essays. From his reading of de Man's thesis, the rhetorical theory of the poem is based on what the present article conceptually characterises as a way of avoiding the subject.
