A second edition of his internationally acclaimed photography book, Waffle House Vistas, was published by The Bitter Southerner in 2023. Micah's first book, Dangerous Waters: A Photo Essay on the Tennessee Valley Authority, published by University of Tennessee Press, chronicled the contemporary cultural relevance and historical impact of TVA's hydroelectric dams.
