Joy was born on 10 November 1954 in [[Kolkata]]. His family moved to [[Ranaghat]], Nadia, [[West Bengal]] shortly after and he has lived there ever since. Goswami was introduced to and encouraged with respect to poetry by his father, Madhu Goswami a well-known freedom fighter in the area. He lost his father at the age of six, after which the family was sustained by his mother, a teacher. She died in 1984. Goswami's formal education stopped early, in grade eleven. By this time he was already writing poetry. After a long period of writing in [[little magazine]]s and periodicals, his writing was finally published in the influential [[Desh magazine|Desh Patrika]]. This brought his immediate critical acclaim and so long after his first poetry collection was published, named ''Christmas o Sheeter Sonnetguchchho'' (Sonets of Christmas and Winter). He has received the Anita-Sunil Basu Award from the Bangla Academy, Govt of W.B. the prestigious [[Ananda Purashkar]] in 1989 for ''Ghumiyechho, Jhaupata?'' (Have you slept, Pine leaf?) and the [[Sahitya Akademi]] Award, 2000 for his anthology ''Pagali tomara sange'' (With you, O crazy girl). | Joy was born on 10 November 1954 in [[Kolkata]].
