# Trunkless

_being a web-based tool for making cut-up poetry using the entire<sup>1</sup> Project Gutenberg collection of English books._

Trunkless is a spiritual successor to [prosaic](https://github.com/vilmibm/prosaic).

This repository contains code for:

- processing the Gutenberg corpus

The actual Gutenberg collection of books can be found at [The Internet Archive](https://archive.org/details/pg_eng_txt_2024).
