His father, Charles Wilcock, was English; his mother, Ida Romegialli, was Italian. He learned Spanish in London, English and Italian in Argentina, where he trained as a civil engineer. In the 1940s Wilcock began a long association with the group of innovative writers that included Jorge Luis Borges, etc. He contributed to their anthologies of fantastic literature (1940) and Argentine poetry (1941). Over the next two decades he wrote poetry, literary criticism, and short fiction in Spanish. He started magazines and published six books of lyric poems. In 1954, he sojourned in England, where he worked as a commentator for the BBC and as a translator for the Central Office of Information. In 1962 Wilcock settled in the town of Lubriano, near Viterbo, just north of Rome. Over the next decade and a half, he produced some fifteen books in Italian: poetry, drama in verse and prose, cultural journalism, and several volumes of fiction, both novels and stories; in March of 1978, Wilcock suffered a fatal heart attack)
