DiapDealer, I'm currently trying to achieve a similar thing with poetry. Maybe you can help clarify what is possible?

My CSS for the original ePub is:

p.verse-long {
font-size : 1em;
line-height : 1.2;
text-align : justify;
text-indent : -16px;
margin : 0px 0px 0px 16px;
}

When I convert epub to mobi via Kindlegen, Kindle ignores the '-16px' indent I've set for the first-line. I've read that the text-indent attribute doesn't support negative numbers in mobi. Have tried the width attribute in both CSS, and at line level, but its affecting the entire paragraph, not just the first line. I hadn't given up, but are you saying its not possible to achieve this hanging paragraph effect?
