Clisp is an implementation of Common Lisp. Clojure & Common Lisp, though belonging to the same Lisp family, are two very different languages. A few things that Clojure has but Clisp doesn't - * Persistent datastructures * Concurrency Semantics (including a STM implementation) * Protocols * Java Interop A few things that Clisp has that Clojure doesn't - * Conditions & restarts * CLOS A few things that both have - * REPL * First class functions * Macros * Facilities to do functional programming In the end, you have to choose one or the other, though knowledge of any one will vastly minimise the difficulty in learning the other.
