"The Yellow Nib" is the literary journal of the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry, established in February 2003, at Queen's University Belfast. The journal takes the inspiration for its title from the Early Irish poem known, in English, as "The Blackbird of Belfast Lough", which is thought to have been written in the margin of a manuscript by a scribe in the eighth or ninth century. An image of the blackbird, from a wood engraving by Jeffrey Morgan, is now the emblem of the Seamus Heaney Centre, and consequently of "The Yellow Nib" itself.  Edited by the acclaimed poets Frank Ormsby and Leonita Flynn, the aim of journal is simple: to publish good writing by both established and emerging writers.
