Clarion (journal)

Clarion is an undergraduate literary arts journal published at Boston University since 1998, unique for continuing to publish despite a policy prohibiting any "student journal of opinion" from receiving university funding.

The original issue, titled "The Staff Issue of ?", was published by the group "Student for Literary Awareness" in association with " [http://www.bu.edu/bostonia/ Bostonia] ", a University magazine. Subsequent issues, although produced by the same group of students, were released under the name "Clarion". From issue No. 2 on, the student group was renamed as Boston University Literary Society.

In Spring 2008, the editors announced the Clarion Poetry Award, a cash prize to be presented annually to the student submitting the finest poem to the journal.
