The use of concatenation as opposed to cycle does not affect the
ability to rotate in reverse or more than the sequence length provided
you use mod to get the number in range first:

(defn rotate [n s]
  (let [shift (mod n (count s))]
    (concat (drop shift s)
            (take shift s))))

[could use lazy-cat instead of concat, but I doubt it's worthwhile here]
