Hvedekorn (Danish: Grains of Wheat) is a Danish language literary magazine published in Copenhagen, Denmark, since 1920. It is one of the Danish publications which improved the cultural journalism in the country.[1]

History and profile

[edit]

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]

Poul Borum, a critic and poet, served as the editor-in-chief of Hvedekorn between 1968 and 1996.[3][8] Another editor-in-chief was Torben Brostrøm.[9] In 1996 Andreas Brøgger became its editor-in-chief.[10]

The editorial staff of Hvedekorn has consisted of poetry editor Lars Bukdahl and art editor Christian Vind since 2008.[3]
