Janet DeBar began reading and writing poetry during her childhood in Beech Bottom, West Virginia. She studied English Lit at the college of Wooster in Ohio and at Stanford University but she often said that she hoped that these experiences did not make a lasting impact on her poetry. She began reading her poems to audiences when she moved to the North Coast over two decades ago. Her work appears in Wood, Water, Air and Fire, the Anthology of Mendocino Women Poets, and she was delighted to have been included with ruth weiss and the Checkered Demon in the Café Review. Also a musician, Janet played didjeridu with Cloudfire many times along the Mendonoma coast.
