What reading level is A Song of the Guns book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Line — target — short or over — Comes, plain as clock-hands run. Word from the birds that hover, Unblinded, tail to sun — Word out of air to range them fair. From hawks that guide the gun ! [ 10] EYES IN THE AIR Your flying shells have failed you, your landward guns are dumb : Since earth hath naught availed you, these skies be open ! Come, Where, wild to meet and mate you, flame in their beaks for breath. Black doves! the white hawks wait you on the wind-tossed boughs of death. These boughs be... cold without you, our hearts are hot for this. Our wings shall beat about you, our scorching breath shall kiss : Till, fraught with that we gave you, fulfilled of our desire. You bank, — too late to save you from biting beaks of fire, — Turn sideways from your lover. Shudder and swerve and run. Tilt ; stagger ; and plunge over Ablaze against the sun, — Doves dead in air, who clomb to dare The hawks that guide the gun ! SIGNALS The hot wax drips from the flares On the scrawled pink forms that litter The bench where he sits ; the glitter Of stars is framed by the sandbags atop of the dug-out stairs.
