# 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
- creating and accessing a large `sqlite3` corpus of lines
- hosting a web front-end
The actual Gutenberg collection of books can be found at [The Internet Archive](https://archive.org/details/pg_eng_txt_2024).
