Check out Marie-Elizabeth Mali's (Steady, My Gaze, Tebot Bach Press, 2011) interview with Four Way Books author Susan Brown.
"My poems are a mirror of me, for better or for worse. I adore dark comedy. I’ve had to learn balance in tone and tame my humor and irreverence, for the sake of the poem. Sometimes I find myself traveling too long in HaHa land, and the writing loses substance. I’m inclined, though, to laugh at the slightest provocation."
