What do you mean by catalyst? Do you mean what helps portray the journey in Skrzynecki's poems?

 

[BigBear_25]

Catalyst in terms of what makes the persona go on the journey

Well id say it was the fleeing of war torn Poland following the destruction of World War 2.

the catalyst of their journeys was to escape from the terrors of war. however it is evident that these journeys were forced, as they didn't want to leave their old world and assimilate with another culture.
