You were listening to The Next Best Picture Podcast, and this is Cody Derrick's interview with the

0:04.7

songwriter for Come See Me in the Good Light, Sarah Borellis. I usually get so upset when

0:10.0

Meg edits my poems. She's a terrible editor. Well, you know, I feel like if you could do this all

0:15.6

on your own, I wouldn't be here. Andrea really thinks of poetry is what can I create to give to people.

I think that's why it's been more long-lasting.

1:37.1

And your song is a huge part of that.

1:39.6

I think I want to start by asking,
