Thanks, I think I have the idea.
(ns ziptest
(:require [clojure.zip :as zip]
[clojure.xml :as xml]

(zip/xml-zip (xml/parse (ByteArrayInputStream. (.getBytes s)))))
(defn parse-xml [string]
(doseq [x (xml-> (string-to-zip string) zf/descendants :c1)]
(println "---> " (:content (first x)))))
(parse-xml *xml-string*)
