Is it sane to use core.async channels to consume http-kit's post results in clojure?

I am new to clojure and am writing a library that sends post results to a server for a response. I consume the response by placing it onto a core.async channel. Is this sane or is there a better way?

Here is a high level overview of what I am doing:

(defn my-post-request [channel options]
  (client/post http://www.example.com options
          (fn [{:keys [status headers body error]}] ;; asynchronous handle response
              (go (>! channel body)))))

(defn request-caller [options]
  (let [channel (chan)]
    (my-post-request channel options)
    (json/parse-string (<!! (go (<! channel))))))

Here is the actual code that I am using: https://github.com/gilmaso/btc-trading/blob/master/src/btc_trading/btc_china.clj#L63

It works, but I have had a hard time verifying if it is the right way to go about this.
