Though still emphasizing what she sees as the need for revolutionary cultural change, Sanchez’s later works, like "I’ve Been a Woman" (1978), "Homegirls and Handgrenades" (1984), and "Under a Soprano Sky" (1987), tend to focus less on separatist themes (like those of Malcolm X), and more on themes of love, community, and empowerment. She continues to explores the haiku, tanka, and sonku forms and as well as blues-influenced rhythms. Later works continue her experiments with forms such as the epic in "Does Your House Have Lions?" (1997) and the haiku in "Morning Haiku" (2010).-->
