One of the finest Bengali poets of recent times, Joy Goswami shot to fame in the seventies. He was born on November 10, 1954 in Calcutta. He is an innovator, bringing new styles and techniques to Bengali prose and poetry. His poems are marked by a unique style and a fierce sense of privacy. Through a strong sensory approach, he creates and recreates images as if making his own body the carrier of his poetic realizations.

Time and again he has returned to his favourite subjects of nature, time, and universe. Myriad shades and depth of emotions in flow of words like a stream characterize his poems Pratnajiba, Aleya hrada, Unmadera pathakrama. Yara brshtite bhije chilo is his experimentation with the prose poem. Joy Goswami is the recipient of the Sahitya Akademi Award, 2000 for his anthology Pagali tomara sange.

The Library of Congress has fourteen titles by him.
