The lifeblood of this journal,
of any journal, is a constant supply of quality

Editorial Comment Highlights
The first issue of the Claremont
Review is surprising, but it shouldn't be. Nobody
should be surprised at the wealth of talent among
today's high school students. Nobody should be surprised
that a journal designed specifically for their writing
was dragged squalling from the publisher's primal
muck. Nobody should be surprised that, given a goal
of excellence to strive for, young writers will
produce stories and poems of a calibre that denies
the label 'student writing.'
We hope that the establishment
of the 'The Claremont Review' will help to fill
a void. There are a few literary vehicles for
pre-adolescents in this country, and there are
numerous fine journals with long standing reputations
for providing adult writers an opportunity for
publication.
The voice of the teenager, however, has been
under-represented for a long time.
