As the name suggests, this is a corpus of contemporary Czech poetry texts (delimited by the years 1990 and 2020), i.e. a representative sample of Czech poetry over the last three decades. Significantly, this sample includes not only texts officially published in poetry books, and thus having gone through the standardeditorial process, but also amateur works, concentrated mainly on so-called literary forums. This methodological decision is not due to a desire to democratise poetry; we believe that without texts from the Internet, the picture of contemporary Czech poetry would not be complete, covering only one segment of poetry, which is relatively small in proportion. This would not correspond to the reality that literary forums have played a significant role in the Czech literary context((PIORECKÝ, Karel. Česká literatura a nová média. Praha: Academia, 2016.)), among other things as a platform for the publishing beginnings of some now established poets. This basic dichotomy, by the way, opens up the possibility of confronting and comparing the two modes, distinguished in C3P by the ''doc.medium'' attribute (print vs web). | C3P is a joint project of the [[https://service.ucl.cas.cz/en/|Institute of Czech Literature of CAS]] and the Institute of the Czech National Corpus, dating back to 2015.
