Here is the code I wrote, sqrs.clj:

  (defn square-of-sum [coll]

        (sqr (reduce + coll)))

A different point: if you can sum your numbers using plain +, using generic/sqr is a waste, as it calls multimethod clojure.contrib.generic.arithmetic/* to do a multiplication. Just use #(* % %) instead.
