Artist Corina Duyn celebrates the launch of the paperback version of her latest publication In Bed I Cut Words as part of Arts In Nursing Homes Day, which took place on May 16th 2025.  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
