You'll Never Tip a Go-Go Boy in This Town Again

you’ll never tip a go-go boy in this town again 
by Jess Provencio


A reading of Jess Provencio’s you’ll never tip a go-go 
boy in this town again alters perspective as good poetry 
should. It sends you to West Hollywood, opens you to a 
world unknown to mainstream society, so that you can 
never  again  ignore  the  lost,  rejected  boys  with  whom 
she  is  so  intimate.  With  incredible  language  and 
imagery,  she  sketches  those  you  feel  like  holding  to 
say,  “it’s  alright...don’t  cry.”  —Mario  René  Padilla
