There is no evidence to suggest Dickinson read Blake's work. The reason they are compared so often is because they were both critical of the popular religion.
It is unlikely that Emily Dickinson had direct access to the works of William Blake during her lifetime, as Blake's poetry was not widely circulated or recognized until after his death in 1827. Dickinson, who lived from 1830 to 1886, was secluded and did not have extensive access to literary resources.
