  In this poetry collection, the magic of the Jewish folk tradition and the more contemporary scientific magic of medicine complement each other in all their contrasts, and there are playful poems of everyday experience as well as serious poetic explorations of art and all its aspects. At their centre is a strong humanist sense of moral reconciliation, symbolized by the Caladrius Bird in the title poem, which in medieval legend holds the power of life and death over the sick.
