Busboys and Poets is giving away free coffee all month long. The catch: the drinker has to recite a poem in order to get it.

Read a poem at the microphone at the coffee shop and bookstore, and the restaurant will offer a free espresso, drip coffee or latte. It's to promote awareness during National Poetry Month.
