Hare Island

Hare Island is a small landmass in County Fermanagh, Ireland, where the boundary between human memory and natural mystery blunts rather than sharpens. The name suggests something quick, elusive, perhaps a creature that darted across reeds or a person who refused to be caught by certainty. The island itself may have been a place of solitude, a marker for fishermen, or a forgotten threshold where water and land negotiated their claims. What is known is that it exists, that it is named, and that the naming implies movement, life, and witness.
