Everything you need to understand or teach Shedding Skin.
"Shedding Skin" is a free verse lyric poem by American poet, professor, and scholar Harryette Mullen. Originally published in Mullen's 1981 collection Blues Baby: Early Poems, "Shedding Skin" portrays shedding as both a physical and metaphorical transformation. Mullen does not narrow the context to a single fixed interpretation. Instead, she explores how shedding a tough exterior reveals new, tender, and vulnerable ways of being in the world.
