Two of his poems placed in IBPC competitions in 2004. His poem "Alter Ego" was selected as a quarterfinalist in the Lyric Recovery Festival competition in March 2004. He lives in New York City. Guy submitted a large number of poems that qualified for the Prize, which seeks poems in traditional verse forms. Some were strictly traditional, others used a more flexible format. "Weather Report" is one of the latter. It should be noted that the judge's interpretation of "traditional" is loose rather than strict.
