History and profile

The magazine was established in 1920[1] [2] under the name of Klinte.[3] Its founders were the expressionist artists Knud Bruun-Rasmussen and Johannes Weltzer.[3] It was published with this title for one year and was renamed as Ung dansk Litteratur and then as Vild Hvede.[3] [4] The latter title was adopted during the editorship of Viggo F. Møller from 1930.[3] Halfdan Rasmussen and the cartoonist Ernst Clausen took over the editorship in 1952, and they renamed the magazine as Hvedekorn.[3]

Hvedekorn is based in Copenhagen[5] and is a literary magazine, specializing in poetry.[6] Danish poets Inger Christensen and Marianne Larsen are among the contributors of the magazine.[7] [8] The other well-known contributors include Tom Kristensen and Tove Ditlevsen.[2]
