Ms. Brooks, professor emerita at the Community College of Allegheny County in Developmental Studies, is a Madwoman in the Attic instructor for Carlow University. Doralee’s chapbook, When I Hold You Up to the Light, won the 2019 Cathy Smith Bowers Chapbook Contest published by Main Street Rag. She is City of Asylum’s Poet Laureate of Allegheny County 2022-2024.

Her poems have appeared in many journals and anthologies including Voices from the Attic, Paterson Literary Review, Pittsburgh Poetry Review, and Uppagus. Doralee has also led community writing workshops for adolescents, and her experiences in education are the inspiration for much of her work, which often addresses issues of race and gender.
