Di Cicco was brought up in several North American cities, including mong Baltimore, Maryland (USA), Montreal, Quebec, and Toronto, Ontario.
In books like Flying Deeper Into the Century (1982) and The Tough Romance (1979) he communicated a modern, sensitive awareness of the confusing welter of 20th-century life.
Di Cicco's unmetrical but imagistic lines flowed on, often with cumulative power, to release their tension at the end of their stanzas.
Reducing his output of verse, he spent a period in the Augustinian monastery of Marylake, in King City, north of Toronto.
