As a writer Helen has been shortlisted for the 2022 National BBC Upload Festival, was runner up for the 2021 Broadcast and Media Award (Norfolk Arts Awards) and was nominated for the 2023 Jarrold New Writing Award (Norfolk Arts Awards). Her poetry has been included in a number of publications and exhibitions including Popshot Magazine, Marshlore and Slop. In 2023 she wrote and performed a poem for synth-pop pioneer Rusty Egan's track, Fragments, which was released the same year. Helen runs community poetry workshops across Norfolk. Turbulent Flow is Helen's first complete pamphlet.

    About Turbulent Flow:

    "Some pieces are site-specific and were written on location from visits to the Wind Energy Museum in Repps with Bastwick (Norfolk) the Fitou parc éolien (an on-shore wind farm in southern France), Thurne Mill (Norfolk) and various interactions with the North Sea. Some pieces were written whilst listening to the music composed by Bill Vine for the larger Turbulent Flow project.

    Other inspirations and influences include the Tate Britain exhibition Women In Revolt!, poetry workshops I carried out with children on Great Yarmouth beach, research into the history of Norfolk’s wind farms, mills and pumps, and conversations with Debra Nicholson, custodian of the Wind Energy Museum, about the late Ronald 'Bob' Morse who collected, rescued and restored the windmills and windpumps from around the world that can be found at the museum.

    The poems span different seasons and explore our climate and the extremities experienced globally in the last year. Other themes running through the collection include grief, motherhood, feminism, the juxtaposition of urban and natural environments, existence and the future."     ... more

about

Turbulent Flow is a mixed media clarinet quintet and part of a larger, intermedia, body of work that explores wind energy.

Originally conceived as a way to explore and celebrate the off-shore wind farm at Scroby Sands in Great Yarmouth, the composition grew to investigate more historic ways in which the wind has been put to use by man, especially in East Anglia, but also taking an international outlook by responding to the stunning 'Parc éolien' that sits above the town of Fitou in southern France. The four movements of the piece each contain field recordings of the places they are named after, and the music has been composed to reflect this.

The larger project includes work by Liam Roberts (video), Helen Vine (poetry) and Wendy Constance (prose).

Turbulent Flow is dedicated to Bob Morse (1924-2007), who put together the incredible collection of wind engines that can be found at the Wind Energy Museum in Repps with Bastwick, Norfolk. Bob also bought the then-dilapidated Thurne Mill in 1949 and over a period of 18 months, with the help of Robert England, a direct descendent of the millwrights who had originally built the mill in 1820, restored it to its former glory. Bob had a lifelong love affair with wind engines of all varieties, and this work aims to celebrate these same things, while tipping its hat to a man whose passion is even more relevant in today's world.

Thank you Bob.
