Liat Suvorov reads her poems “Be Like Water” and “Solid Ground” on December 22, 2022. In You Have Been Planted Here to Create Something Beautiful, eighteen writers and artists show what it means to be fully human. Through poetry, memoir, essays, and visual art, the contributors—all past or current students at Montgomery College, all living with a disability—share their insight, wisdom, and experience. With courage, humor, and imagination, they capture a world that appears both shifting and solid, that offers communion and solitude, that emits darkness and light. Resilience, obstacles, loneliness, joy, difference, acceptance, freedom, creativity—these are some of the topics they explore.
During the community Seder we would sit with my maternal grandma and my step grandfather (who was 100% my grandfather, no ‘step’ about it), my uncle and aunt and their spouses and children, then my parents, siblings, and usually a few friends of the family, then my mom’s father, his wife, their son, her children and grandchildren, her children’s spouses, the mother of one of the spouses, the mother-in-law’s other children, their spouses and children, and usually a few more extended family members and friends of each family unit. We would end up filling a 40-50 seats table just with our family!
