About

I'm known on the internet as banana_the_poet aka Michele Brenton. 


I was born in Swansea, Wales and lived for 3 years on the Greek island of Kefalonia in the Ionian Sea.

I prefer to write short snappy pieces whether serious or quirky.

My main influences have been Hilaire Belloc, Spike Milligan, Ronnie Barker and Shakespeare.  I have tried hard not to be influenced by Dylan Thomas as we already have far too much in common for it not to be a bit Twilight Zone-ish...

Reviews

&quot;Like all good poets, Michele is an acute observer of life – offering insights and perspectives that inform, amuse and sometimes shock. She is mistress of the unusual perspective...   those who thought they hated poetry.  This is the book that will change their minds - just as it did mine.&quot; Jane Alexander, 'Britain's top writer on alternative therapies' (Daily Mail)
