Corina has been living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) for 26 years, and In Bed I Cut Words is her latest artistic response to having to surrender her independent life and move to full-time care at the relatively young age of 59 in 2021. This beautiful and arresting publication showcases Corina’s collages along with poems, prose and thoughts from fellow artists, poets and health professionals. Copies of the book will be distributed free of charge to a variety of arts and health practitioners, arts offices and public libraries, thanks to the generous support of Waterford City and County Council and the Irish Hospice Foundation. Further information is available from www.corinaduyn.com Artist, writer and puppet designer/maker Corina Duyn has been making puppets since her first rag doll, at the age of 10. She became ill with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) aged 36. The increasing limitations imposed by her illness took an increasing toll on her daily and creative lives and, having finally accepted that she could no longer live independently, Corina moved to Signacare Nursing Home in Waterford.
