Clojure From the Ground Up http://aphyr.com/tags/Clojure-from-the-ground-up is a good resource, and there's also my own Clojure for the Brave and True http://www.braveclojure.com/ . I actually started by going through "Land of Lisp" first. Though it covers common lisp, not Clojure, it's a very fun book.

edit: Realm of Racket is also a good lisp book, and a lot of people like "the little schemer". It's hard for me to say how good these are for people completely new to programming, though.

Finally, there's the ClojureBridge curriculum, which is targeted at new programmers: https://github.com/ClojureBridge/curriculum



Thanks, I'll check them all out. I've been playing with languages for a few years now and built some really tiny, throwaway stuff. I'd say I grasp the basic concepts of programming pretty well (by basic I mean the very basic), but I still very much feel new to programming. I started with Ruby because it's accessible, but ever since I've learned about them, I've wanted to eventually learn a Lisp.
