Irvin Morris

Irvin Morris

Irvin Morris (1958-) is a Navajo Nation Tobaahi clan author and lecturer at SUNY-Buffalo. He was inspired largely by Anna Lee Walters at the Navajo Community College, and he received his MFA at Cornell University. His work, "From the Glittering World: A Navajo Story" (1997) is a blend of Navajo mythology, history, fictionalized memoir, and Navajo stories. The title is taken from the Navajo creation story about the last of five existing worlds, our own, which is called the glittering world.
