See the function `inferior-lisp'. I am not sure if it works with that
particular implementation of lisp, but I think it is quite generic for
running lisp interpretors as subprocesses of Emacs.

I have only ever used elisp, but my understanding is that there are a
number of major differences between elisp and Common Lisp, which would
be the preferred dialect for general (non-Emacs) use.

But if you just want to learn lisp for curiosity rather than for
serious use, elisp is probably easier to learn due to ielm, edebug and
other support within Emacs. Download the elisp manual from ftp.gnu.org
if you haven't already.
