letfn is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you.

don't use def inside functions, ever. in scheme define is lexically scoped,
so you do that sort of thing. clojure is not scheme. if you want a lexically
scoped function use a lexical scoping construct like let or letfn.

Use let:
(defn foo [...]
(let [helper (fn [...] ...)]
(helper ...)))
or letfn:
(defn foo [...]
(letfn [(helper [...] ...)]
(helper ...)))
The latter allows you to introduce mutually recursive functions.
Sincerely,
Michał
