Stephen Guy-Bray is Professor of English at the University of British Columbia. He specializes in Renaissance poetry, in queer theory, and in poetics.

"Stephen Guy-Bray’s Line Endings in Renaissance Poetry promises to re-animate discussions of poetic form within English Renaissance studies and beyond. Guy-Bray masterfully details how attention to form can allow readers to tap into complex questions about the aural and visual components of language as it mediates and manipulates access to knowledge, desire and social hierarchy. Written with Guy-Bray’s characteristic elegance and wit, this book will be equally useful to undergraduates learning to read poetry, graduate students making their way into professional research and seasoned scholars who could stand to think more about poetry as poetry." —Melissa E. Sanchez, University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania.
