Morvay represented the radical folk direction in Hungarian literature in Czechoslovakia. Morvay was a highly productive writer, with a few exceptions, almost all Czechoslovakian newspapers and magazines have published his writings. He also wrote poems, political articles, narratives and novels. In addition to Czechoslovakian journals, avant-garde publications such as 100% in Budapest, Korunk (Our age) in Cluj, Uj Hang in Moscow published his prose works, and he also wrote for Zoltán Fabry's journal entitled Az Ut (The Way).

Morvay was an active member of the Sarlo (Sickle) movement, and in 1931, at the Sarló Congress in Bratislava, he was praised for his poetry as "the demonstration of a peasant reality tense to the point of revolution, the promising beginning of Czech documentary literature in Czechoslovakia".
