King of the Black Isles is the first book of poems by J. U. Nicolson, an American poet and translator of poetry whose works initially appeared in Chicago-area newspapers during the early 1920s. King of the Black Isles exhibits Nicolson's appreciation for a variety of poetic forms as well as his inspiration in both classical and traditional subjects. Originally published in 1924 and revised and expanded by Nicolson in 1926, King of the Black Isles is the poet's most personal and representative work.

Nicolson, J. U.: - J. U. Nicolson (1885-1944) was a twentieth-century American poet and translator of poetry. Born John Urban Nicolson, he spent most of his professional life in Chicago, Illinois. Nicolson first achieved notice as a "column poet," so-called for the appearance of his early work in the literary columns of several Chicago newspapers under the pseudonym, "The King of the Black Isles." The Chicago publisher Pascal Covici brought out several works by Nicolson during the 1920s. J. U. Nicolson is perhaps best remembered for his rendering into modern English of The Canterbury Tales of Geoffrey Chaucer.
