This review is from: The Clarion awards (Hardcover)

This compilation of short stories from the student writers of the Claion Workshop is very worthwhile. While I disagree that the capstone piece is the Lucius Shepard story it is still a marvelous insight into the early writings of some well known authors. Most noteable are; Dean Wesley Smith, and Nina Hoffman. My favorite story was "Beast and Beauty" by Kristi Olesen. This story was the most SCI-FI of the lot, about an alien circus performer and her protective sibling. The introduction by Damon Knight is a very interesting account of the history of Clarion, however he could have given more editorial comments about the authors.
