Diane Glancy (1941-) has Cherokee, German, and English heritage, and she grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. She attended the University of Missouri and earned her bachelor’s degree in 1964. Later, Glancy earned a master’s degree from the University of Central Oklahoma and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Iowa. Starting in 1989, Glancy taught creative writing and Native American literature at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Glancy is a distinguished poet, fiction writer, essayist, and dramatist. Because of her heritage, she is able to balance Native American and non-Native characters, Native American beliefs and Western religion, and history and the loss of Native American culture. Her writing has won a Juniper Prize for Poetry, the Five Civilized Tribes Playwriting Laureate Prize, the Oklahoma Book Award, the Cherokee Medal of Honor, and other awards.
