The Man in the Honeysuckle is a collection of poetry by the Australian writer David Campbell, published by Angus and Robertson, in 1979.
[2] Writing in The Australian Book Review critic Philip Martin noted: "Much has been said about Campbell's delight in the natural world, and rightly so.
It's to be found in this book too, but as some of these passages show delight doesn't blind him to the dark aspects of the human and natural cycles.
The hawk with its shadow is hooked on death, and death, as we might expect in poems by a dying man, appears quite often here: but discreetly, and as Geoff Page says, 'completely without complaint or self-pity'...All in all, though, this is a powerful, varied and compact book.
"[3] After the collection's initial publication by Angus and Robertson in 1979[4] it was reprinted in 2007 by Picaro Press in NSW.
