# Allison Parrish's Gutenberg Poetry Corpus

This corpus was originally published under the CC0 license by [Allison Parrish](https://www.decontextualize.com/) with an [accompanying GitHub repository](https://github.com/aparrish/gutenberg-poetry-corpus). 
> This is a Gutenberg Poetry corpus, comprised of approximately three million lines of poetry extracted from hundreds of books from Project Gutenberg. The corpus is especially suited to applications in creative computational poetic text generation.

This dataset contains 3,085,117 lines of poetry each with its corresponding id from project Gutenberg.

```python
Dataset({
    features: ['line', 'gutenberg_id'],
    num_rows: 3085117
})
```
A row looks like this:
```python
{'line': 'And retreated, baffled, beaten,', 'gutenberg_id': 19}
```
