Heretica was produced by the poets who looked for new reality challenging the conventional ideas of Christianity, humanism and communism.[5] The magazine also covered the poems and writings of promising authors.[4] One of these new writers were Poul Vad who started his literary career in the magazine in 1956.[6] The contributors of the magazine were called the Heretica School members, who had conservative existentialist views.[1] They included Jørgen Gustava Brandt, Benny Andersen, Per Højholt,[2] Paul la Cour and Erik Knudsen.[4]
The magazine was edited by the following Danish writers and poets: Thorkild Bjørnvig (volumes 1-2),[7] Martin A. Hansen and Ole Wivel (volumes 3-4), and Frank Jæger and Tage Skou-Hansen (volumes 5-6).[5]
