negative indents are also called outdents. The idea is to indent all but the first line. Very much like you might see with a numbered list where the numbers are left of the text.

This technique is often used in poetry since most of the time the first line is sufficient but occasionally on narrow screen lines may be too long and have to flow on a second line but need to be identified as such and not mistaken for a new poetry line.
