The Norsk Nightingale

The William F. Kirk is especially remembered for his Scandinavian dialect poetry written for a daily column and later. His byline, “The Norsk Nightingale”, was a familiar sight across the country. His first collection of dialect verse, The Norsk Nightingale, presented a Norwegian lumberjack from the Upper Midwest. It is with a certain amount of misgiving that the author sends out this little volume of Scandinavian dialect verses.
