For the inaugural episode of Day Jobs, I talk with poet Gina Myers (Hold It Down, A Model Year) about balancing her creative work with a 9-to-5 job in university communications. We also talk about her former jobs, including temporary factory work and adjunct teaching, and how the need for surgery forced her to find a job with healthcare benefits. Plus: the costs of poetry book contests, Submittable fees, and why her current coworkers think she's an enigma.
