Part of the generation of poets of 1960s, Goon's poetry contains stinging criticism of the ''[[nouveau riche]]'' and a touching description of the contrasting fate of the masses. A love of freedom and faith in the human spirit also permeates many of his poems. An avowed [[Marxist]], Goon has also written poems urging an upheaval of the poor against the rich. He also has written a number of poems on important personalities, including [[Rabindranath Tagore|Rabindranath]], [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]] (''[[Huliya (poem)|Huliya]]''), [[Lenin]], [[Shakti Chattopadhyay]] and others.<br />
