'A little bit addictive and the right amount hard': new video game is based on poems of Emily Dickinson

Ever wanted to play a computer game based on the poems of Emily Dickinson? Well, now you can, with the release of EmilyBlaster, a 1980s-style game in which players must shoot words out of the sky to correctly recreate Dickinson's verse. EmilyBlaster is a real-life version of the fictional game that a character makes in Gabrielle Zevin's novel Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, out next month. Zevin's book is about Sadie and Sam, who first meet as children in a hospital computer room in 1987. Eight years later, they are reunited and begin to work together making computer games.
