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]
