There is no “story” of Jonestown. There are as many stories as there were members and families of members and friends of members and observers of members. Marrow tries to capture and contextualize a few. Each week of this month, which marks the 44th year since the mass murder-suicide we informally call Jonestown, I am sharing poems from my collection “Marrow” that tell stories of members of Peoples Temple, stories that have been mis-remembered, un-remembered, and mostly obscured from the historical record. You can find those stories here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_uoUSLi7zSxbut62K4Yvo1QTSbWZYN14
