| As the name suggests, this is a corpus of contemporary poetry texts of Czech provenance (defined by the years 1990 and 2020), i.e. a representative sample of domestic poetry over the last three decades. Significantly, this sample includes not only texts officially published in books, and thus having gone through the classical editorial process, but also amateur works, concentrated mainly on so-called literary servers. This methodological decision is not due to a desire to democratise poetry; we believe that without web texts the picture of contemporary Czech poetry would not be complete, it would only cover one segment of poetry, which is rather small in proportion. This would not correspond to the reality that literary servers 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 KSP 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. As the name suggests, it 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 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 currently contains approximately 35.5 million words. The print poetry subcorpus contributes about 1.7 million words to this number, coming from 21,478 poems printed in 496 poetry collections by 209 authors. The web component of the corpus (web) contains more than 442,000 poems from six literary servers (liter.cz, pismak.cz, totem.cz, libres.cz, psanci.cz, xxvi.cz), comprising over 34 million words. The texts in the print subcorpus were selected with regard to the generational layers of the contemporary poetry scene; currently, authors of Generations X and Y (i.e. born after 1965) are represented here; we continue to expand the corpus towards older generational layers. | C3P currently contains approximately 35.5 million running words.

| All of the above tools allow working with the whole corpus, or separately with its parts (web - poetry from internet literary forums; print - poetry published in books). More tools for working with the KSP will be added gradually. | All the above tools allow working with the whole corpus or separately with its parts (either poetry from internet literary forums or published in books).
