In the present paper it has been attempted to study the influences on Ezekiel. In his works there is a reflection of modern English Poets’ perspective along with the style of their writing. Through references to various critics, the influences on Nissim Ezekiel and his poetic works have been shown. The modern English Poets like T.S Eliot, W.B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, Philip Larkin etc proved to be influential enough to Ezekiel and this has been shown here in the present paper through various quotes. He seems to be influenced by the great modern English Poets and ultimately emerging as a great modern poet himself left his fellow poets and readers much influenced with the power of his poetic charm.
