Abstract :  Allen Ginsberg was influenced by Blake’s ideas which subsequently guided him in his new poetic formation. Liberation of both mind and body was the sole concern of both Blake and Ginsberg. Since human woes lies in human consciousness, in this context, Blake influenced much in Ginsberg’s career suggesting a change in public consciousness. Ginsberg relentlessly fought to create an awareness on the people, warned them against perverted consciousness as designed by the state and society. Both poets are complimentary to each other in their declared vow. Ginsberg wanted to illuminate the mankind and Blake will never withdraw from mental flight to serve the society. Both Ginsberg and Blake subscribed to the view that purity in human consciousness would lead to uncover the ‘mask’ that covers the society and truth shall ultimately prevail over everything. The Blake influence is therefore important in major poetic formation for Ginsberg that serves the cause of humanity.
